Her brothers John, Stanley, Leonard and herself attended school at Lewis Flats (now known as the Adobe Deli). After graduating Deming High School, she moved to California where she married and had 1 child, her daughter Vickie. She divorced in 1967 and remarried Homer F Greenwell. They moved back to Deming in 1972 to help take care of elder parents.

She is survived by her daughter, Vickie Willey and husband Roy, grandchildren Teresa Taylor and husband Kevin, Sarah Cabrera and husband Victor, Kenneth Teague Jr., Jessica Cabrera, 9 great grandchildren, 4 great great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
