Eventually, Getty and John moved to Albuquerque to be close to family. She enjoyed most being involved with her children and grandchildren, and enjoyed life to the fullest even though she became wheelchair-bound later in life. She is survived by her devoted husband, John; sister, Nancy Kyle; and her three sons, John III and his wife, Patty, of Austin, TX, Andy and his wife, Janet, of Albuquerque, and Peter and his wife, Allie of Coeur d'Alene, ID; and ten grandchildren; and one great-grandson.
