In 1902 her Scrooge McDuck returned to Scotland and took her and their sister Matilda McDuck with him. When Scrooge established Duckburg, Calisota, United States as his homebase he started journeying the world trying to expand his financial empire. From 1902 till 1930 his sisters run his empire from his homebase while he was away. During this years she met her boyfriend Quackmore Duck whom she married on 1920. Later on the same year she gave birth to twins. Her son was named Donald Duck and her daughter Della Thelma Duck. Of the two only the boy inherited his mother's temper.
