On October 20, 1949, she married Jay Weeks, her eternal companion. They moved to Swan Valley, Idaho, where they raised their five children. She worked alongside her husband on the family farm until the kids were in school. In 1965, she started working various jobs outside the home, but most importantly she made sure that her family came first.
