In her private life, she counseled relatives, friends and fellow teachers. Sometimes She would stay on the phone for hours until the other party was happy.

But most importantly she was a devoted wife to Mel. They traveled and enjoyed their longtime friends and enjoyed each other. They shared a happy life.
