After marrying, they moved to El Paso, TX while he was serving in the Army. After completing his tour of duty, they moved to Twin Falls where they lived and raised their family. They were blessed with three daughters Sylvia, Debra and Lynn. Her passion in life was her family & friends. She was a "domestic engineer" being the best wife, mother and homemaker. Her hobbies began and ended with Christmas. In her home it was Christmas everyday with shopping, planning, cooking, decorating, wrapping and pondering all year where to place the biggest Christmas tree in town. Basically, she was Santa's right hand man & a jolly ole' soul. Her other hobbies included bowling, camping, Yahtzee, cards, Jackpot and visiting with her loved ones. On November 27, 1995 her first husband, Jim passed away. Four years later, she was blessed with a new love, Phillip Clough. They married April 10, 1999 in Las Vegas, NV.
