Unis worked as a clinical instructor in the Broadlawns School of Nursing until early 1961, when she became House Supervisor, also at Broadlawns. She earned her BS in Nursing in 1979, and held other nursing roles at Broadlawns until 1981, when she joined Upjohn Home Healthcare and later the Iowa Foundation for Medical Care in 1982, both in utilization review positions.

Unis was a spirited, self-reliant individual who always put her family first. Without a doubt, her greatest love was being a devoted wife, mother and grandmother.
