She had a wonderful life with strong family relationships with her siblings, their families and her own family. She enjoyed the many family picnics, birthday parties and get-togethers that were held over her lifetime.

Her husband was mayor of Clayton during the 1940's and president of the Clayton Kiwanis Club. She was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church, the Twigs of Underwood Mem.
