She met her future husband Tom while square dancing, they married on August of 1957. They moved to Monroe in 1960 and were married until his passing in December of 1990.

She eventually went onto full-time work at several different businesses, including Kaylor's Shoes in Bridgeport, Briner's furniture also in Bridgeport, before retiring from Sodexo in Trumbull. After her retirement, she enjoyed helping other seniors with rides to doctors appointments and shopping errands. She did that for many years and took pleasure in just being able to help others.

She met her companion and soul mate on a blind date. Her and Mac had many good years together. They appreciated each other every day. Many trips did they enjoy, with the Easton Senior Center. Train trips out west and even to Europe. As travelling became a bit much, they enjoyed the simple things at home. Sharing time together was the true treasure.
