On Christmas Eve 1938 she married Frank H. Allenberg after making him promise that he would provide her with a milk cow and garden. He kept his promise and she had a milk cow until her children were raised and a garden until she moved to the Restorium. They had three children, Virginia, Richard and Luana. She helped clear fields, make hay, and take care of the ranch in the Moyie Springs area, working hard but also taking time to ride her horse and take the kids fishing huckleberry picking.
She was a founding member Curly Creek Hall and a member of the Curly Qs Extension Club. After her children were raised she worked for several years as a dental assistant for Dr. Ghigleri. Following the death of her husband of fifty-seven years she continued living on the ranch until moving to the Community Restorium in 2011 where she continued enjoying life and the excellent care she received there.

She is survived by sisters Mary Ann Perovich of Missoula, MT.; and Dorothy Firebaugh of Coeur d’Alene, ID; daughters Virginia (Tom Roy) Cowley of Bonners Ferry, ID; and Luana McUne of Coeur d’Alene;, ID; 7 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and a great-grandchild and many nieces and nephews>
