She experienced many fun things during her college years. She was able to travel through Europe, guide white water rafting expeditions, and she enjoyed hang gliding. She worked as a clothing rep and buyer for Reams Wrangler Shop and Wolf Clothing.

Kinghorn on September 12, 1975, in the Provo, Utah temple. After this time, the bulk of her life consisted of being a farm wife, mother, and grandmother.

She lived in Lewisville, Idaho during all her 46 years of married life. She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held many callings over the years. Serving as Relief Society President was one of her favorites. She enjoyed snow skiing, softball, ice skating, interior design, and fashion.
