She met and married the love of her life Richard "Dick" Hall on January 1, 1939 in Henrietta, TX.

While there, Edith found employment with Colorado Ute as a bookkeeper where she worked until her retirement in 1983. Dick and Edith moved to Eastland about 15 years ago and were members of the Bethel Baptist Church.
