In 1960, they moved to Pasadena, Texas to be close to David’s work. It was in Pasadena where the two of them raised two boys, Barry and Jeff.

She loved traveling and documenting her life and experiences, proven by her diaries and countless number of photo albums. She faithfully attended South Main Baptist, Pasadena and First Baptist, Belton. Her faith in Jesus Christ greatly influenced her sons and grandchildren.
