Many beautiful memories were made out on the Sody including carving out stairs on the sandstone behind the cabin with her brother Val. She was a second mother to all her younger siblings. After leaving Escalante, they moved to Liberty, Utah where they continued to ranch. They later moved to Salina, Utah where her father owned and trained race horses.
