She married Glenford Thompson on September 4, 1954. They were married for 47 years before he passed in 2001.
She was adored by everyone, an extended family of relations and friends from every walk of life. She lived in Dawsonville until 2014. She was known for her cheerfully personality, loved people and had a smile and a kind word for everyone.
