Luvern and Roy had three daughters: Caroline, Janice and Lynette.

After retiring, Luvern was active in her church as church clerk, pianist, and Sunday school teacher for a number of years. She was active in the Pioneer Center as a RSVP member; also a member of Pioneer Quilters, acting as Secretary. She enjoyed china painting and craft classes, and was a very talented porcelain painter. She also participated in the Pioneers Singers Music Program. Her church and her family were her main interests.
