She returned to Wooster and taught modern history in the Massillon schools from 1937 – 1944. In the summer of 1944 she moved to Newark (East Orange, New Jersey) to work for the War Department and then took a job in New York City at the Katharine Gibbs School where she taught in the academic department from 1944 to 1956.
In 1956 she accompanied her husband, Frank Joseph Albanese, to Melbourne, Australia where he was employed by the Australian Broadcasting Commission to cover the 1956 Olympic Games. They returned to the U.S. in 1958 and moved to her beloved Colorado Springs, Colorado, where they lived until 1963 when Frank took a job with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Virginia. They lived in the Washington, DC area until 1995 when they moved to the Copeland Oaks retirement community in Sebring.
