She married Leroy Ashley Long June 16th, 1927.He was 39 and she was 15!! But she lied on her marriage license and said she was 18. They stayed married for 11 years, however, divorcing in 1938
Next year, 1938, she married Merritt Larson, a preacher's kid. The very odd thing is that she and Merritt went all the way down to Pittsburgh to get married at her brother's Clarence's place.
Many family from near and far came to her funeral. She was loved.
Her nephew Clarence Haenel remembered " She was a 'party animal" She'd play piano bouncing up and down with energy."
