Angelina married Daniel John Atherley on July 19th, 1948. Together Angelina and Daniel lived in Eureka, Utah, Delta, Utah and Henderson, Nevada, just to name a few, before settling in Vernon, Utah on the old Atherley “Moon Shine Ranch”; there they raised their three children, Danny Angelo, Benny Lawren, and Mary Lu.
