She married the love of her life, Richard J. Christopher, from Great Falls on June 15, 1957.

Kim presides over the Twentieth Judicial District; Jeff practices Physical Therapy at St. Joseph's Hospital; Courtney teaches Art at Hellgate High School in Missoula; Tiara shared her mother's love of family and nurtures the extended family Dick and Keenie created.
