They have five children: Terrance Keith, Colleen Marie, Barbara Faye, Mark Eugene and Rebecca Arlene. Their first year was spent in San Francisco, Calif., where he was assigned to a military police company at the Presidio of San Francisco, Calif. The fall of 1951 found them moving back to the farm, north of Nashua. They bought their very own farm in the summer of 1960 and moved there, where they lived until moving to Glasgow in 2000.

She was an author, artist, a seamstress, a great cook, a musician, loved doing crafts and was a very spiritual woman. She spent many hours painting pictures for her children and grandchildren.
