She divorced Thomas but they remained close and later met Dennis Palmquist with whom she spent 14 wonderfully happy years living in Hillsboro until his untimely passing in 1994. Eventually she purchased a home from her Aunt at the Homestead Park in Forest Grove. She was a lifetime member of Emanual Lutheran Church in Cornelius and she enjoyed gardening, birds, canning, fishing, crochet and most of all her family and friends.
