She met and married Warren J. Sanders; to this union 15 children were born. They were together for 43 years. They lived in Gary, Indiana for 25 years. She was a housewife and a dedicated mother, known to all the neighborhood children as "Mom."

Thompson Methodist Church of Bethel Springs. Later she joined the Mt.
