She married Gary Loutzenheiser August 24th of that same year and moved to Escondido, California while he finished his commitment to the US Navy. She taught for two years in Escondido, before they moved back to Arizona. 
The couple lived in Tucson, Wickenburg and Apache Junction. She retired from teaching in 1999 from the Apache Junction Unified School District, and then went on to work with DES, and finally taught art at Gilbert Christian School.
