Elnora Barnes was married to Neal W. Sedam on May 4, 1947 at Bethel Methodist Church. The minister was Rev. Elmer Rinkle, minister of that church.

Meridian Street, in Wichita, Kansas. Elnora and Neal had children Diane K. Sedam, Gail Sedam, Sandra Sedam, and Jackie Sedam.
Starting about her senior year in high school, Elnora worked at Sam Razook's grocery store, which was located on the southwest corner of Central and St. Paul Streets in Wichita, Kansas, a building that still stands in 2015. Elnora later worked at a grocery store located on the northwest corner of Harry and Hydraulic Streets in Wichita, the same building her father had once helped construct as an employee of Herb Gogswell Construction. This ex-grocery store building, which still stands today, was later remodeled and has been in operation for many years as a laundromat. Elnora later worked as a cashier for The Giant Department Store which opened in 1961 on south Oliver Street and George Washington Boulevard in Wichita. For many years Elnora worked as a cashier for Bayouth's Grocery in Wichita for both the original store which operated for more than 50 years at the northwest corner of Douglas Ave. and Dodge Streets, and also their other grocery store which was located at Central Ave. and West Street. Elnora was highly valued as an employee and friend of the Bayouth family who sent beautiful flowers for Elnora's funeral.
