Shortly after graduating, she married Fletcher "Woody" K Wood, and taught elementary students around the world while Woody honorably served in the US Air Force. After Woody’s retirement they returned to Roy Utah, eventually settling in Kanab where they were active members of the United Church of Kanab-Fredonia.
