Together, they enjoyed 49 years of marriage and were members of the Grand Avenue Church of Christ and later, the Agape Church of Christ.

She loved cooking and feeding her family as well as traveling in the RV. She belonged to the Conestoga Camping Group and Timely Tips Club as well as being a Cub Scout Mom and Campfire leader.
