Sone eventually received a scholarship to attend Hanover College, called "Wendell College" in her memoir, a Presbyterian school in Indiana.[4][5] She finished her undergraduate degree at Hanover and in 1949 received a master's degree in clinical psychology from Case Western Reserve University.[6]
After finishing her postgraduate work at Case Western, Sone became a clinical psychologist and social worker for the Catholic Community League, practicing for 38 years. She married Geary Sone, and the couple settled in Canton, Ohio, where they raised four children. She died in Canton shortly after she turned 92.[2]
