Her children and grandchildren were her greatest source of satisfaction and happiness. On June 18, 1985 she married Ronald Young and they resided in Nampa, Idaho. Together they built and maintained a successful carpet-cleaning business, Northwest Carpet Cleaning. As a Boise State fan, she was proud of the fact that they were able to clean the famous Boise State “Blue Turf.” She had a gift of making everything around her beautiful. She loved having her hair and make-up done, and always looked her best. She also enjoyed crafts, sewing, crocheting, and decorating. Her defining characteristic was her ability to care for and show Christ-like love to the people she associated with.
