They were married on January 16, 1960 and most recently celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary.

She also enjoyed volunteering with the Family Services at Dover AFB and Lackland AFB (TX). She was actively involved as a lector at their church, no matter which base or state they were in.

She also baked cakes for all occasions for their church including First Communion, Confirmation, raffles (popular Turkey cake), as well as baked cakes for the monthly birthday celebration at Charlotte Hall Veterans Home. She is fondly known by all of her children, grandchildren and many of their friends for her Saturday morning pancakes, especially the chocolate chip ones.
