Since her husband's death December 12, 1957, she had made her home in Aspinwall with a daughter, Emma Rowedder.

Surviving in addition to her daughter Emma are another daughter, Mrs. Louis (Elsie) Anthony of Westside and two sons, Hubert of Manning and Ivan of Denison; also ten grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.
