In 1970, she moved to Oklahoma City with her husband and became active in the Northwest Newcomer Alumni, where she was a past president. She was also active with the Presbyterian Hospital Auxiliary and in the activities of their church. She and Vernon celebrated their sixty-third wedding anniversary on September 20, 2006. She was preceded in death by her parents and later her loving husband, Vernon, who passed on Veterans Day, 2006. Also preceding her were her brothers, JD and Paul Bassett; and sister, Pauline Milton. She is survived by her sons: Bill (Loretta) Walters, Turlock, California; and David (Linda) Walters, Stanton, California. She is also survived by seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
