She was a cook in the household of Count Henry of Rattenberg, and used to give food to the poor.

To continue her mission, Notburga began to save some of her own food, especially on Fridays, and took it to the poor.

[1] Next, Notburga worked for a peasant in Eben am Achensee, on the condition that she be permitted to go to church evenings before Sundays and festivals.
