On November 4, 1932, Alvina married Merle Krutzfeldt and they made their home in Virgil, SD. They operated a small caf and garage business for 20 years.

After her husband, Merle, died in 1970, Alvina purchased her parents home in Alpena and enjoyed every summer when she came to this area to visit with relatives and friends.
