She met Allan Truax while in Washington. He proposed to her at the Jefferson Memorial. They were married on May 22, 1943. They continued to live in the Washington D.C. area until 1978. While in Washington Bolyne worked at the Pentagon as a Secretary in the Department of Defense for three years. She also worked as a Typist for Mr. Harry Price while writing a book on the Marshall Plan. Her son Ken was born September 29, 1951. She and her husband Allan were active members of the Falls Church Virginia Church of Christ and very involved in World Wide Missions.

Bolyne went back to work as a Secretary in 1966 to help pay for Ken to attend Abilene Christian College.
