In 1942 she married and lived on the Diamond Cross Ranch where she had four of her children. In 1953 she moved to California where the family farmed and raised cattle. In 1961 she remarried and had her fifth child. She worked for the Retail Clerks Union as a bookkeeper for years before moving to Wickenburg in 1975. After working for several local businesses in and around Wickenburg, she retired to pursue her love of crafts, gardening and family. Her legacy is her family whom she was so proud of: Roy Gardner (Debbie), K'lyn Gardner, B'Ann Gardner-Spurgeon, Sharon Gardner-Lacy (Lamont) and Cindy Celaya. Grandchildren: Shawn and Shane Gardner, Mark and Landon Thompson, Codi Spurgeon-Tidwell, Christine Lacy, Cami Cressman, Janise, Cory and Justin Carr.
