As a young girl, Von was baptized in the Central Christian Church. She attended Fairview Schools until friends introduced her to the love of her life.

They were blessed with three children: Nancy Cully, Wade Williams and Becky Garriott.

Von loved serving her community by helping with the startup of the Walleye Rodeo, managing the community pool, serving on the town board, helping with the startup of the Grand Arts Council of Canton (GACC), and serving as the mayor of Canton off and on for a number of years.

She especially enjoyed taking her grandkids and great grandkids mushroom hunting and beach combing.
