She then earned her Masters in Elementary Education from the State University of New York at Oswego. She was a communicant of Immaculate Conception Church in Fayetteville.
Midge retired this year from the Syracuse City School District where she taught elementary education at Martin Luther King and H. W. Smith schools for over twenty years.
