During the war she worked in Chicago for the U.S. Treasury Department. She married Robert J. Kiefer on March 2, 1946 at St. Alexis Catholic Church in Bensenville, IL. Together they raised nine children.

In 1973 Dru and Bob, with several of their children, relocated from the Chicago area to a home they had built on 40 acres on County M near Augusta.
