On September 24, 1938 she was united in marriage to Defeated Creek Community native Bobbie Lee (Bob) Anderson who died at the age of 78 on November 21, 1995.

After the death of Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Estilene was married on March 25, 2003 to Clyde Beasley Dilleha, a Defeated Creek Community native who had lost his wife and the mother of his children, Laura Marie Stacey Dilleha on September 10, 2002.

Mrs. Dilleha was skilled at making quilts and loved vegetable gardening and her flower gardens.

For many years she and Mr. Anderson made their home on East Buffalo Road farm and following his death she constructed a new home in Kempville across the highway from the funeral home.

A while after she and Mr. Clyde married they sold the Kempville home and relocated to the Bloomington Springs Community of Putnam County.
Following his death she sold that home and moved to Pin Oak apartments in Carthage where she resided as long as health permitted.
