Aletha graduated from Box Elder High School in 1939. She married Frank Karnely on August 28, 1941. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Logan Temple. Aletha and Frank enjoyed 63 wonderful years together. They both were more concerned for the other's well-being than their own. They enjoyed traveling, camping and spending time with their close friends.
