She relocated several times as she followed Brian through his service in the Air Force and was blessed along the way with three children: Madge, Christine, and Dean. She and her family settled in Ft.

Education was always an important part of life and she ensured her children succeeded in all their classes. She spent many years as a Domestic Engineer for the very Christian School that educated her children.
