Hecher retired in the summer of 1967. She later married Anton Görgl and settled in Styria. Her son Stephan Görgl (b. 1978) and daughter Elisabeth Görgl (b. 1981) are both alpine racers who have represented Austria at the Winter Olympics. Stephan competed in the giant slalom in 2006 and Elisabeth competed in the downhill in 2006 and 2010. She won bronze in the latter, a half-century after her mother won bronze in the same event. One year later, Elisabeth became double world champion in 2011, with victories in both speed events (downhill and super G) at Garmisch. In February 2014, Elisabeth also participated in four disciplines in the 2014 Winter Olympics (downhill, giant slalom, super-G and combined).
