She married Wells "Bud" Bates about 1925. To this union two children were born. The marriage later ended in divorce and she never remarried.

At one time she and/or Bud owned a Restaurant in AZ. In the late 1940's she and her daughter were living in Los Angeles. Saw her quite a bit then. In the late 50's or early 60's, she moved back to Arizona. Believe she had an LPN license or something like it, because for years she was a private nurse for elderly in the Scottsdale area.

I had not seen her since my Grandmother died in 1961, but she and my mother and her sister got together a couple of times before my mother passed in 1977. Family lost all contact with her not long after, she was kind of strange that way, as were her children. She loved my parents but with Mom being gone, had little use of us nieces, nephews, or cousins. I did see my cousins (her son and daughter, both nearly 20 years my senior) in 1998, when they came to visit my home in AZ, when my sister was visiting me. Neither answered when asked where her burial was, so we didn't push the subject. When I tried to contact them after the visit, was unable to, the phone numbers I had were no longer good.
