They were in school together until High School when she moved to a different school district. Dennis joined the military at 17 and was away for four years. They stayed in touch through letters and he ended up purchasing an engagement ring and mailing it to her to ask her to marry him.

They would have been married 66 years in February of 2026. He took her back to Phoenix where both of their children were born. Her being a Kentucky Girl, she didn't care for the heat, sand and very little green out there and wanted to return to the East.

They purchased a home in Beavercreek Ohio, where they raised their family. She and Dennis became Christians very early in their marriage. She was currently a member of First Baptist Church of Kettering. Up until the last year, when she became too sick, they attended every Sunday. She loved the Lord and was Homesick for Heaven. In the last weeks of her life she would tell anyone that she was talking to that she wanted to go home.
