She was married to Earl Baumgart for a short time in 1945 and as a result became a single mother. On August 31,1973, she married Wayne Hudson. Germaine was a dedicated, conscientious, and hard-working employee as she struggled to provide for herself and her daughter. She retired at age 65 as a custodian for Green Bay Schools.
