Kidwell enrolled at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with her daughter Jane and culminated her studies with a Master's in Fine Arts in 1977 at the age of fifty six. She continued to write and to teach writing until a few years before her death at the age of eighty one, after a struggle with Parkinson's disease.
