In Norway, she worked for many years as dairy-maid at Imjeltsetra (seter = summer pasture). Later she went to America together with her father. She first came to Florida for about 5 years. She did not like the climate, so she decided to seek employment in NY. She sailed from Jacksonville FLA to New York and took respectable lodging recommended by the ship captain in the same house as her future husband, Henry Lee. They were married soon after. It is said when her father, Jørn, was dying she returned home the day before he died. Maren loved her native district, and she returned many times from America to visit it. When she was at home she always visited Tørjervollen and looked at the carrot bed she had as a child, and cried every time. Last time she was at home was in 1922. She died a few years later.
