They lived on a farm near Clearfield for several years. In 1943 they moved to Clearfield and in 1954 she and Louise moved to Bedford, soon acquiring her present home.

She was a member of the Methodist Church in Clearfield, later transferring her membership to the Bedford Methodist Church.

She was a loyal and conscientious mother and grandmother, helping her daughter in the care of her granddaughters at all times.
