Her father Howard was a standout athlete himself in the 1910s & 1920s, excelling at ice hockey & baseball, and her Uncle Ralph GRUNDTISCH was a pro golfer.

Her brothers stayed involved with sports into their adult life with one of her brothers becoming an Athletic Director at a high school in the Buffalo area & another owning/operating two local ice hockey rinks. Her brothers also both served in the military with the U.S. Navy.
