She and her husband retired to Havasu Palms, where they enjoyed boating, fishing, and had fun during the many visits from their children and grandchildren. In 1988, they moved to Lake Havasu. In all those years, Herta never met a person who didn't become a friend. Her family was her life. She attended all family events, including her great-grandchildren's sporting and theater events, and graduations. In addition to her love of family, Herta had a passion for animals and raised $1000 for Lake Havasu Animal Shelter by asking for donations for her 100th birthday, rather than gifts. In recent years, Herta made t-shirt dog toys that she donated to the shelter, Hospice Store of Havasu, The Veterans Thrift Store, and The Make-A-Wish Foundation, for their fundraiser, and also for anyone else that wanted one. She also donated to the Cumberland County Animal Shelter while on vacation last summer in Tennessee.

Herta's favorite saying was "Always treat others as you would have them treat you" and would lovingly tell you that you were "one in a million". Mom, Oma, and Uroma, known to her family, will be missed terriby by those who loved her the most and are thankful to have had her so long.
