In December of 1954 she married the love of her life, Fred Robinson, an airman in the USAF.

Then, she started her new role as “Granny” to her 6 grandchildren, they gave her great joy!

In 2002, they decided to start a new adventure and moved to Chandler, AZ, both retired and enjoying life. They enjoyed traveling and she was active in their church as a Eucharistic Minister.
