And she remained alone with us, never got married again, she apparently loved him very much. They had five children (one son deceased as of 2019). Both she and her husband are the indigenous people of Inokovka 1-Ya village. She worked all her life on her own farm. At the some point of her life, she was awarded with the Medal "Veteran of Labour". Throughout her entire adult life, Kolomnikova lived with her daughter and son-in-law.
