She was baptized upon her confession of faith in her Redeemer Jesus Christ on July 9, 1922, by Rev. Klaas Kroeker at the Bethel Mennonite Church. Here she remained a faithful member until her death.

She was united in marriage with Henry E. Kroeker on May 4, 1927, with whom she shared life's joys and sorrows almost 37 years. This marriage was blessed with one daughter and three sons.
