She married Harold Ray Smith on Oct. 14, 1949, at St. Agatha Catholic Church. Together, they had four children. She was a charter member of the church’s Christian Mothers organization, a member of the Catholic Daughters of America and a frequent presence in the church kitchen helping to make perogies, stuffed peppers and nut rolls for church events.
