On November 5, 1955, she married her high school sweetheart, the late, Carlton Lester Ingram, at Enon Church of Christ.  They moved to Crestview, Florida where they owned and operated Crestview Vault and Memorial Company. 

Survivors are her daughters; Karen Lissa Ingram and Kimberly Ann Ingram Ireland (Mike); a granddaughter, Emily Ireland Moore (Scottye); two great-grandchildren, Christopher Joseph Smith (father-Colton Smith) and Rebecca Ripley Moore; a sister, Mary Elaine Boyer (Jim) and many nieces and nephews.
