Career

As she has continuously served since 1975 this makes her the sixth longest-serving mayor in the United States. On May 22, 2005 she was given special recognition for her service. This included a certificate of recognition by Senator Debbie Stabenow and a tribute by the State of Michigan and then Governor Jennifer Granholm. As well as this she was presented with a flag that was flown over the U.S. Capitol building by Fr. Jim Williams, the pastor of Ste. Anne’s Church, on behalf of Congressman Bart Stupak.[2]

As well as being the mayor, she managed the historical Windermere Hotel along with her mother, Jannette Dowd, and now manages it full time after her mother's passing away in 2015.[3] Occasionally she contributes to the Mackinac Island Town Crier, the local newspaper on the Island.
