She saw her sons graduate from grammar school and high school; she watched with pride as each went on to college and finally moved on to build their own lives and families.
In 1982 Gen and Fred moved to Lakeview, Arkansas where they become involved in local boating, fishing and social activities; they enjoyed traveling and visits to their children as well. Gen and Fred moved to Mountain Home in 2002. Continuing her lifelong devotion to family, Gen, with love and patience cared for her ailing husband until his death in 2008.
