In her obiturary, she is Mrs. Riley Hostetter. However, in her father's obituary, it appears she is the daughter, Mrs. Ora Miller, since her sisters, Flossie and Jessie are listed and her sister Kathryn had died by that time.

A lifetime Avilla resident, she was a member of Calvary United Methodist Church, Avilla, and a 75-year member of OES Chapter 122 in Kendallville. She was employed over the years at Riley’s Diner, Riley’s Service Station and Riley’s Gun Store, all in Avilla.
