In Mountain Home, Anunci worked at a boarding house owned by Josefa and Peru Anchustegui.  After two years, she moved to Boise and found a position as a maid at the Capitol Hotel.  Eight years later, she married Anastasio Jayo, who was working as a sheep herder, at St. John's Cathedral in Boise.  She and her husband opened a boarding house soon after they married, and Anunci took classes to become a US citizen.  Anastasio passed away in 1938, but Anunci continued to take care of the boarding house for another 5 years, relying on help from her four children. 

Anunci became a pillar of the Boise Basque community.  She participated in many social events, and was known for her ability to balance a bucket on her head, a skill she demonstrated at the annual Basque picnics.
