She attended Trinity Bible College in Ellendale, ND where she met her husband, Jeff, and was married in Brainerd, MN on June 10, 1972. They entered pastoral ministry in 1973. Her love of music has been a part of their ministry and family, and that legacy continues through their children and grandchildren.

But her greatest love on earth was her family and her love for Jesus was the center of her life.
