She spent summers with her family in Petit Étang in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. In July 1947 she married Paul J. Moore, with whom she shared 52 years of marriage before his death in 2000. Together they raised a family in Weymouth, MA before retiring to Bristol, NH in 1976. Their house near Newfound Lake was a place of great joy for their grandchildren. They wintered in Cape Canaveral, Florida. In 1998 they moved to Kingston to be closer to family which allowed her to play a large part in many of her great-grand children’s lives. She was a devout Catholic and volunteered within her church and community every place she lived. She enjoyed playing bingo and card games.
