They were married in July of 1964 and had four children which they raised in Olympia, WA. She enjoyed spending time in her garden, with family and her dog, Dolly, listening to Elvis, and eating Klondikes. Everyone who was fortunate enough to know her knew her as a giving person, with a gentle and loving heart, a friend ever true. She always told her children and grand children how much she loved them and how proud they made her. She also told them that throughout life they should "treat others as you want to be treated", a saying she lived by.
