She was the very loving mother of four children, Cindy Lomax of Longmont, Colorado, Ed Thomas of Larkspur, Colorado, Tamera Thomas of Casper, Wyoming and Dianna Hunsicker of Hayes, Kansas. She was the grandmother of eleven and the great grandmother of four. She was also a very dedicated and forgiving wife.

The Galapagos, the Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of Australia, Indonesia, Paupau, New Guinea, Belize, Bonaire, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, and Fiji were places she enjoyed with her very close dive buddies.
