On June 8, 1955, she was united in marriage to Lige G. Mars, in Sioux Center. They made their home in Orange City, where they raised their three children. She worked in various food service positions but valued her time more as a hospital aide and volunteering for local nursing homes and hospice.

She also spent a considerable amount of time over the years compiling a family history book for multiple family trees.
