At the age of 23 on June 24, 1961, she was joined in holy matrimony to Ramon C. Salcido in Tucson, Arizona. They stayed in Tucson and began a long and wonderful marriage that lasted almost 72 years. They soon started their family and had four beautiful children: Grace, Carol, Ramon, and Victor. She was a dutiful mother and homemaker who loved to cook. She enjoyed going to the horse races with her family, and always made time for her children. As she and her children got older, they loved going to the casino together.
