On September 9, 1948, she married her sweetheart Lyle Ralph Jackson in the Salt Lake Temple and they had nine children. She was devoted to her husband and family.
She honored her Swedish heritage in being generous and hard working. Her testimony of the gospel was expressed through the way she lived her life and how she treated others.
