She is best known as a friend of Nancy and Ronald Reagan, and for her marriage to Alfred S. Bloomingdale.
Mrs. Bloomingdale is a Roman Catholic and her husband, Alfred, converted to her religion, but that did not stop a great scandal from befalling their marriage regarding his extramarital affairs. This may be why she buried him in a $200 wooden box without notifying his relatives, including his brother.
She was involved in fundraising projects for the Los Angeles Cathedral.
