She met LeRoy Heinis and the couple was married on January 3, 1945 in Marshall, MN. They farmed a few miles northwest of Lynd, MN.

In 1980, they moved to Quincy, CA still with the Forest Service and in 1984 she transferred to Conroe, TX and retired in 1989. After remodeling their home in Spearfish she started clogging in 1989. She took over the teaching position when the instructor passed away. She continued teaching clogging until January 2010.
She participated in Cub Scouts when the boys were young. She also enjoyed bowling with her husband for many years. They bowled in Spearfish, Quincy and Conroe and again in Spearfish after she retired.
