They married on June 18, 1947, between their sophomore and junior years, living in veteran’s housing until graduation in 1949.  They both came to Vale as teachers and were there until 1965.

Her last years were spent with family and friends.  She did a lot of volunteering and church work as long as possible.  She was preceded in death by her parents;  her husband, Jack; her son John David;  and daughter, Leslee.
