She married a cheramist named Etienne François Rondello on 2 October 1929. The couple had a daughter named Yvette.
Around 1941, Honorine moved to a Southeast French town called Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume because of the German and Italian occupation of the country. She also worked as a chef for an upper-middle class family and retired in 1976. She became a widow in 1984.
