On May 3, 1958, she married Ernest Corbitt in Belton, Texas. Together, they had a wonderful life filled with world travels and trips all over the United States to Marine reunions. They enjoyed boating on the Gulf and entertaining family on the barge at Lake Belton. Lad enjoyed reading, her dogs and cats and doing the daily crossword puzzles.

Also preceding her in death was a brother, Orestus Culter and a sister, Mary Hatter.

Survivors include her husband of fifty-four years, Ernest Corbitt, a sister Martha Perryman; a neice Mary Sue Duty who was also her special caregiver as well as many nieces and nephews.
