She went on to study Home Economics at the University of Texas Tech. She moved home after her first year of college and began working at Pacific Bell telephone company as a switchboard operator. She met her first husband, Richard Marko, at Pacific Bell, where he was a lineman. Some of their co-workers felt they would make a cute couple and set them up by having my mom substitute for someone on the company bowling team Richard was a part of. They then dated for a year and were married by her father, a vicar of St. Timothys episcopal church. Her father married them in the Chapel of the roses church in Pasadena Ca on September 26th , 1964. Once she became pregnant she embraced motherhood . She was an extremely talented seamstress and made many beautiful dresses, including one of a kind wedding gowns. They immersed themselves in all the community activities in Temple City, Ca. They were involved with the YMCA, Indian princess, Jobs Daughters, youth football, little league , cheerleading, and lots of auxiliary clubs. When her daughter was in middle school she returned to the working world as a clothing buyer for a family owned department store called Liebergs. She was one of the buyers for women and childrens fashion for many years. She eventually became a buyer for larger companies such as London Fog and the Los Angeles Fashion Mart. She began traveling a lot for work and frequently took trips to New York. In 2008 Richard and her decided to downsize and move closer to their two granddaughters. Unfortunately, Richard was diagnosed with an aggressive type of cancer and died in March of 2009. After Richard passed away her daughter and her attended Grief share at Calvary Church in Westlake.
