Torey worked 25 years in customer service at Mobile Instruments in Bellefontaine and was also employed at Penske Auto Services for just over a year, until ALS led to her early retirement. She enjoyed bowling and bowled in a league for 17 years. She and Chad also loved traveling, and Torey’s interest in history took them to museums across the country, including one of her favorite destinations, the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum in Indiana.
