She married Robert William (Bobby) Graves in 1943. They raised their two children in Brownfield. Bobby preceded her in death in 1980. She then married Craig Wilkerson in 1992. She was also preceded in death by her husband Craig, both her parents, her son Billy Bob Graves, her grandson Freeman Scott Sansom, 2 older brothers Earl Raney and Samuel Raney and 2 younger sisters Jean Pendergrass and Wanda Bailey.
