She married Richard Andrews on July 12th, 1940, and their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. They had two sons Richard and Ron whom she loved very much, and she appreciated all that they did for her.

She loved animals, mostly her poodles, and she made frequent trips to the zoo with her sons. She was a very good seamstress and made a lot her own dresses. She liked to go "goofing" as she called it, and it was really shopping for a bargain. She was a talented artist. She called herself an amateur photographer; she loved to take pictures.
