Nevie married Neff David Malouff on September 9, 1938. Together they raised three daughters: Ellen Louise "Weezie", Elizabeth Colette, and Mary Magdalena. Nevie was a devoted homemaker for many years. After the passing of her husband in 1971, she began working as a cook for the North Conejos School District in La Jara, Colorado.

Nevie enjoyed playing Bingo, visiting casinos, and watching her favorite team, the Denver Broncos.
