In Bremerton she met and married the love of her life, Herman Charles Duckworth. The Duckworth family lived and raised three children in Eagledale on Bainbridge Island.

Her greatest joy was being a wife, mother, and homemaker and serving in her church, Bainbridge First Baptist where she was a founding member.
