Together they raised four children, Michael (Nancy) Watkins, Gilbert, Arizona; Susan (Kim) Checketts, Bear River City, Utah; David (Pat) Watkins, Plain City, Utah and Maureen (Michael) Johnson, Longmont, Colorado.

Along with raising her children she has been employed by the Montgomery Wards, Citizen National Bank, The Bank Of Utah and Weber State University. Mom has always been active in the LDS church where she has held many callings.

In October 1990 and for 13 years, Mom and Dad moved to Leeds, Utah where they built a new home and created many fun and lasting memories. The love they shared and showed for one another was truly a shining example to their family.
