In 1939 she married William Lake Addkison and had two children, William Lake Jr. and Carolyn Louise. She continued her nursing career working nights as a private duty nurse, and she was an accomplished seamstress making most of her daughter's clothes.
She is survived by two children, two grandsons, and three great- grandchildren.
