She was married to Alvin Fink for 63 years. She was a lifelong resident of the Tadpole Community in Fort Bend County. In 1948, she married Alvin Fink.

She raised her family on produce from her garden, and poultry, pork and beef from the farm. She baked the world's best kolaches and made noodles from scratch. She gardened and cared for her cows until health issues caused her to enter a nursing home. Here she played bingo, made new friends, and continued to be a keen observer of the world about her. She was a lifetime member of Sts. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Damon and the KJZT.
