She met and married William Washam III in 1978, and together they created M & W Wallpaper, starting with providing wallpapering services for apartment complexes, then growing into a very successful wallpaper and home décor store in Oklahoma City.  She finished her career in home decor at Mungers Paint and Wallpaper, working all the way to the age of 77.  She has 5 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild whom she loved fiercely.  She attended plays, musicals, and sports events for them over the years and everyone knew how proud she was of them.
