She graduated from Hayward High School in June 1944, and the following July married Edward Chester Hoppe.

In 2000 they moved to Minden and really retired. Throughout their retirement they enjoyed being active members of the Coventry Cross Episcopal Church. Their family and their faith were very important parts of their lives. Together they shared 63 very happy years of marriage.
