Paul and Mary Ann were married on December 23, 1961. She continued teaching for 16 years during which time she was blessed with 2 wonderful children.

One of her favorite things was reading and books. This led to several years of her teaching career spent as a school librarian. Another of her favorite past times was doing needlework, at which she was extremely skilled. She loved music, had a lovely voice and spent many years singing in her church choir.
