She worked as a governess in Paris -- a period she once called the happiest time of her life -- for the children of wealthy families.Driven by a desire to"go further", she joined the Daughters of Charity order of nuns at the relatively late age of 41.In later life she moved to Toulon along the Mediterranean coast.
Although she was blind and relied on a wheelchair, she used to care for other elderly people much younger than herself.
