Mom was united in marriage to Clive Miller Lloyd in 1946, and after his death married to David Eugene Taylor. Both of her husbands proceeded her in death.

Mom worked in Billing and Collections for Cox Medical Health Systems for over 25 years. She reportedly was the fastest person on the typewriter and 10-key adding machine that anyone had ever seen!
