Their brother Bob joined the Navy when he turned 17 and was in basic training when the war ended in 1945.
Her mother's brother Leroy Blattner joined after the Pearl Harbor attack and was an Air Force pilot. On August 3, 1944, another plane crashed into his Marauder B-26 bomber in France. This caused a crash and his whole crew was killed.
