There were six children born to this marriage, all of whom survive her. With her husband they engaged in farming in the Bender Hill Community for many years and were a part in the growth and development of this community in church, civic and social affairs.

In 1947 they retired from active farm life and moved to Russell to establish their home at 857 East Third Street. Here she also held the esteem and respect of her neighbors, and friends by her cheerful disposition and willingness to lend a hand whenever it was needed she became ill about 6 months ago during which time she was hospitalized and underwent surgery.
