While presiding over the Mizpah Moravian Church Fellowship in Rural Hall, she met Renard Dalton Griffin, of King, North Carolina, son of Dr and Mrs Ernest M. Griffin, while attending one of the wonderful lawn suppers at Mizpah. They married on July 12, 1942 and moved into a house beside Renard’s brother, Ralton Griffin.

In the 1950s, Renard started Griffin Insurance; where she later joined him to run the office because of her gifted talent with numbers.
