Since her mother was on the first board of directors of BYU she associated with many early well to do families.
After she married Orville Clark Roberts they moved to Mona, Utah. They loved to ride together and debate and dance together. She loved to learn and he often joined her in her search for knowledge.

They moved to Jackson, New Mexico where she had to take over earning the money for the family as her husband was crippled with rheumatism. Her and her daughters went out and did laundry for others or picked and dried fruit. She always made work fun and was very close to her children.
