Her entire life was spent on Bowman Ridge, Fork Ridge, and Loudenville. She was united in marriage to Ezekial Johnson , and to this union five children were born, all of whom survive. She was a life-long member of the Christian Church at Cameron and was an active member until failing health made it impossible for her to attend.
