In 1950, she moved to Cincinnati Ohio and married Donald Wellington Gschwind from Bradner Ohio. They had four children, Mary Ann, David (Jayne), Betty (Mitch) and Patti. She was blessed with eight grandchildren, ten great grandchildren and known affectionately as our Gomi. After retiring from a teaching career specialized in reading recovery in 1995, she embraced a deep and enduring passion for art and music.
