At the Normal School, she received high grades and the partially disparaging final evaluation in Grade Books and Reports, volume 1 on page 38 of “Unattractive in person, but character of real worth. Has a good mind and teaches well.” She graduated in June 1897 with a certificate to teach Intermediate classes. She taught seventh and eighth grades in Oceanic Public Schools, and by 1904, she was Vice Principal of Succassuna Public School in Califon. She later married Robert Beatty Ward and had two children: Vincent Hoffman (1908-1991), and Lucile Elizabeth (Rinck) (1910-1997).
