Subsequently, they lived in Texas, California and Hawaii. Aurora worked for many years in the Las Vegas casino industry, meeting many co-workers from The Philippines. Her favorite Filipino foods were bangus - a type of fish - and pinakbet - a type of stew. After working in the casino industry, Aurora "retired" to her home, keeping a meticulous household.
