Her husband, Byron, died in 1970.

Her family said she enjoyed gardening and often used a vacant lot for a giant vegetable garden. Two of her favorite pleasures were spending time at her summer cabin at Fallen Leaf Lake and her annual Easter vacation at Capitola, near Santa Cruz. Both were nearly 50-year traditions.
