She was a member of the Cadet Nurse Corps when in training. Mrs. Hummel worked as a registered nurse at Philadelphia General Hospital for one year before briefly working at Franklin Hospital and then was employed until 1974 at Titusville Hospital. She and her husband owned and operated Hummel's Gun Shop from 1981 to 1995 from their home in Black Ash.

In December 2006 she was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease, received a feeding tube in January 2007 and soon after went to Wesbury.
