On September 2nd 1951, she was united in marriage at the Union Community Church to Chuck Steinfeldt. Chuck and Muggs were blessed with five children. Chuck and Muggs settled on their farm in rural Ackley and working side by side raised five children and five grandchildren. Muggs took a lot of pride in her home and working on the farm. All were welcomed at their home and many visited over the noon hour as they were always guaranteed a home cooked meal and never left hungry. Muggs was content at home and enjoyed Sunday visits around the kitchen table with her family. Muggs was a hardworking, kind hearted mom and grandma who loved her family and exemplified her Christian faith in how she lived her life every day.
