She was married three times and bore twelve children. Her first marriage was to Robert Bashaw Porter on September 25, 1935 at Townshend, Vermont. They divorced. Her second marriage was to Gerald Ellsworth Tashro on April 25, 1946. He died while they were married. Her third marriage was to Henry Guy Towsley on September 8, 1951 at Schenectady, New York. They divorced.
