Always wanting to be productive, she next became the director of Christian Education at their church, St. Andrew's of Redondo Beach, a position she held until 1987.

Her hobby of collecting early children's literature resulted in her being honored with a UCLA Distinguished Alumni award. May married John Miles ZENTMYER 16 Jul 1938, Los Angeles, California.
