In 1972, she married Leslie W. Kutz, in Arlington, WI. Together, they had two children, Jason and Jeremy. They spent several years together until his passing in 1988. She was lucky enough to find love a second time with David Guitzkow. They married on June 18, 1994, in WI. Their families joined and she added another son, Tom.
She enjoyed taking long drives in the countryside, listening to old country and 60's and 70's music. You could often find her in the kitchen baking her famous tater tot casserole. Most of all, she loved spending time with the littles, her grandchildren and her family in Madison.
