They traveled to the camp and ran it every summer until 1972, when they sold the property and the family moved to their new home on Fishtrap Lake in Boulder Junction, Wisconsin.

In 1990, Jean and Bill began spending the winters near Mims, Florida, and they moved into a winter condo in Titusville in 2000. In 2005, Jean and Bill moved their summer residence to Presque Isle, Wisconsin where they lived on Armour Lake until Bill's death in 2008. At that time, Jean moved to Titusville permanently where she lived with her son, Joe. Jean was a member of St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Church in Titusville.
