In 1957 she married Carl Raymond Price whom she met when they worked together at P. Ballantine & Sons, brewers in Newark.
After raising her family, she worked at the Fair Haven Library as a director. She enjoyed reading the daily newspaper and was a devoted parishioner of St. Leo the Great in Lincroft where she sang in the choir.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband Carl Price in 2019, her daughter Catherine Price Scully in 2013 and her siblings, Mary Lou Reilly and Rita Knauf, both in 2020.
