Her husband was captured by Russian forces during mid-1944. She and a son, Klaus who was born in November 1944 fled to west Germany early during the Russian occupation of East Germany. She spent the next 4 years with her in-laws in West Germany until her husband was repatriated in 1948. She and her husband operated a small convenience store in Eschershausen, Germany until they saved sufficient funds to immigrate to the United States. They were granted permission to immigrate to the United States and arrived in New York in January 1953. Both she and her husband held various jobs until they saved enough money to purchase a Luncheonette in Sea Girt, New Jersey.
