She was united in marriage with Frank K. Voss on December 1, 1915 at Pisgah. He preceded her in death just a few years later.

January 17, 1927 she was united in marriage with Nel G. Thompson at Council Bluffs. They made their home on a farm west of Soldier until 1964, at which time they moved into Onawa.

Early in life she accepted the Christ as her Savior and was united with the Christian Church in Moorhead, moving her membership to the First Christian Church in Onawa in June 1964.

Besides Mr. Voss, she was preceded in death by a daughter, LaVonne and two brothers, Edwin and Stanley Kline.
