Claudetta Colvin did not marry. There is no record of her husband.
She used to live with her family in her hometown. But after her father Austin abandoned her family, she could not support and look after them.
Claudette and her sister moved out of the house and lived with her uncle and aunt. They referred to their uncle and aunt as parents and took their last name, Colvin.

While working as a nurse in New York, she gave birth to her second child Randy. Claudette lost her son Randy in 1993 in New York due to a heart attack at the age of 37.
