She met the love of her life Dennis Long while working at Harnishfeger. Mom always said it was "Love at first sight" and from that moment she knew he was the man she wanted to marry.

After their 7 children left the nest, they retired to Lady Lake, Florida in1988 to escape the cold Wisconsin winters.

During retirement they enjoyed being members of a square dance club, traveling in their RV around the U.S., once all the way to Alaska and also enjoyed many cruises together. As a couple they loved riding the many roller coasters they crossed in their travels and even kept a list of which of them that they had ridden.
