In 1912 she was united in marriage to David Jacob Rempel. They homesteaded in the Main Centre district, and were blessed with nine children. In 1941 they moved to Vancouver, and a year later her husband passed away. Her youngest son met an accidental death three years later. She was also predeceased by an infant son.
