On October 23, 1964 she married Robert “Fritz” Blue at the First United Methodist Church in Richwood and he survives.  She is also survived by a son, Christopher S. (Rachel Ann) Blue, Claibourne; a daughter, Elizabeth Stout, Richwood; six grandchildren: Jerad Norman; Justin Blue; Chelsea Hinebaugh, Nathan Blue, Sara Nicole Burnett and Nicolas Rowe, five great-grandchildren: Kylah Blue, Bailey Blue, Locklynn Waters, Atleigh Waters and Abigail Young
