Aurora worked for the Joliet Army Ammunition Plant in Elwood, Illinois then went on to work for Amoco Chemical Plant in Channahon, Illinois. She had secondary jobs as a waitress at Al’s Steakhouse, Syl’s, Drake’s Farm, and White Fence Farm.
She had a love for animals, especially her teacup, long haired, white Chihuahua, LuLu – along with several others. Aurora spent a lot of time feeding all kinds of outdoor wild life – always keeping bird feeders and humming bird feeders full. She truly had an admiration for nature.
