Her mother wore either a grey or white uniform while working around the mansion. Strickland's brother moved to New York after joining the military. Mrs. Strickland graduated high school in 1946. Aspects of social life such as dances are recalled. She can remember being able to do the "Jitterbug," "Big Apple," and "Charleston."
