Amelia went to visit family in Montana and she met the love of her life, Phillip Thompson and they later married and established their home in Kentucky. Here they lived, worked and raised their children. Phillip passed away in 1975, so Amelia returned to North Dakota to the Tokio area and worked for many years at Sioux Manufacturing Corp.

Amelia loved spending her free time sewing and quilting. She also liked to attend yard sales on the weekends. One of her favorite pastimes was spending time at the casino playing her sizzling sevens.
