She married Roger Gilhooly, her high school sweetheart, in 1962 and they enjoyed 56 years of marriage together. The couple were blessed with five children and always enjoyed spending time with them.

     As a young person she and her sisters, Evonne and Marlys formed a singing trio calling themselves the Fried Sisters. They performed at local dances, events and on local radio stations. They produced a record of some of their most popular songs. Cleone loved listening to her favorite country music on the radio and was often found humming tunes during her daily activities. She loved playing cards and when family was visiting many a night was spent laughing and playing whist. Her yard and flower gardens were a passion of hers. She enjoyed spending time working in the yard and she was proud to have earned yard of the week one summer.

She was especially close to her sisters and brother, often traveling to Montana and Jamestown for visits. She was a faithful member of Ascension Catholic Church in Bismarck, ND.
