In 2004, she made a move to Sterling House of Junction City to be near her family and then called it her home until her death.

She was very committed to God and at times would share her love with the congregation to be known as "Mona Moments". She was also a 50 year old member of the Order of Eastern Star. During her marriage with George, both shared her love of horses by becoming a member of the Junction City Saddle Club.
Her family was her greatest pride and she is survived by her daughter Carol and husband Jerald Acker of Junction City, KS and two sons; Gary and wife Mary Newbury of Mansfield, Texas: and Jeffrey Newbury of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Six grandchildren; Natasha (David) Kelly, Joye (Sam) Gfeller, Melissa (Anton) Webber, Greg Newbury, Jordan Newbury and Jessica Newbury and seven great-grandchildren: Caitlyn and Shannon Kelly, Shailynn and Jacob Gfeller, and Alex, Zachary and Ethan Webber.
