She married Don Ray Black, the love of her life on September 17, 2004. Her greatest joy was her family- Don, son Nick Pletke, step daughter Ali (Isaac) Garnica and sons Vaughn and Shaw Black.

She lived her life passionately and always with others placed first. Her courageous battle with cancer has been an inspiration to many.
