On April 20, 1957, she married Bruce Masse in Charlevoix. Together they went on to have six children. She was a homemaker and most happy when she was surrounded by family. She was also an Elder of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians and a longtime charter member of the First Baptist Church of Ludington, as well as the treasurer. She loved to go to the casino. She enjoyed sailing with her husband during his time at work as Captain aboard the SS Badger Lake Michigan carferry. She also enjoyed many trips to Grand Marias with her family.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and brothers Melvyn, Herbert and Silas Case.

A funeral service will be held on Monday, June 26, 2017 at 11 a.m. at Oak Grove Funeral Home of Ludington, with Pastor Tom Thomas officiating. A one-hour visitation prior to the service will begin at 10 a.m. A graveside service will take place at Lakeview Cemetery, directly following a time of fellowship in the Oak Grove Family Room.
