While growing up in Newport she worked a few jobs but would go back to Grand View to stay with her grandparents during Christmas break and the summers. She would work at Evans Grocery which was owned by her grandparents.

Ila was an avid gardener. She always had a beautiful garden every year. She raised enough vegetables to feed everyone for the summer and made sure she grew pumpkins for all the grandkids and great-grand kids. She was the best cook and always had a meal for everyone and a big request was her hot rolls. At Christmas she had the kitchen counter full of homemade cookies and candy for her family and friends.
