She relocated to Pittsburgh, PA to reunite with her parents, ran an ice cream stand adjacent to her father's Bridgeville gas station and where she was introduced to her future husband. Married in 1951 in Florence, SC while her husband, Dan, was stationed at Ft. Stewart. Their marriage lasted nearly 61 years. She said her husband was the most generous , funniest, hardest working, most creative, most colorful, best looking, most mischievous and best story teller she ever knew.
Her family was the center of her life and her pride and joy. Her husband always came first in daily life. All the little things she did were to keep everyone happy. Along with her husband, they helped many without a second thought.
Always true to her southern roots, she made a dynamite peach cobbler and cornbread stuffing. She loved sweet tea, okra and chicken and dumplings. One of her favorite flowers was azalea and favorite trees were dogwood and magnolia. And family was first.
