She later returned to Covington and in 1950 was married to Marx Herzog, a retired Covington businessman. She took an active interest in community affairs and she was a member of the Covington Women's Club. Mrs. Herzog had a wonderful philosophy of life, living today to the fullest and thinking of tomorrow, never of yesteryears.
