On the local level, she was a member of the executive committee of Asker municipal council, having been elected in the so-called "women's coup" where four women (Tove Billington Bye, Berit Ås, Marie Borge Refsum and Kari Bjerke Andreassen) led a successful campaign to get women elected to the municipal council.[2]

Refsum died on 16 February 2023, at the age of 95.[3] Her granddaughter is the researcher Alexander Refsum Jensenius.
