While attending BHS she met the love of her life, Kenneth Standifer, and they married on May 28, 1955.  She went on to receive her Bachelor of Science in Home Economics from North Texas State College in 1956, and a Master of Education from University of Texas Pan American in 1991.  She taught school in Ft Worth, Savannah, GA, Tucson, AZ, Georgetown, TX, Santa Rosa, TX and La Feria, TX.  She ended her career in education as a school counselor, retiring from La Feria ISD in 1996. After retirement, she and Ken relocated to Stephenville, TX in 1999 and they enjoyed their sunset years at KC Farm surrounded by family, friends and a loving community.
