After graduation, they returned to Nampa to start their dental practice. They were married for 44 years and lived in Nampa during that time. Ted and Von had two children, Theodore Edward Comstock, and James Brett Comstock. As well as raising a family, and all that entails, Von enjoyed her home, yard, and many competitive games/events. She was a sharp dresser, and always challenged her mind through study and education. She was a ruthless croquet player. She enjoyed collecting fine fabrics, sewing, and china. Von lived in Nampa, on her own, for nearly 25 years after her husband Ted passed away, before moving to Touchmark Meadow Lake Village. During her time in Nampa, Von was very active in the community and was on the Nampa Library Board of Trustees for 10 years and served as chairman for 3 of those years. She served as the chairman of the Idaho Library Association for 2 terms, during which she organized training workshops for trustees, and planned many local and regional conferences, which included being a keynote speaker at some. Von hosted many programs for the local, regional, and national school board associations, as Ted was heavily involved in those organizations. Von was a member of the Tri Delta national collegiate sorority. She was a delegate at Nationals and served as the district chairman for 4 1/2 years which included 13 chapters in four states and Alberta, Canada. She was a religious person and was very involved with the Grace Episcopal Church. She served on the Vestery, and was elected as a Junior Warden, and elected President of the Episcopalian Church Women’s Dioceses of Idaho, where she instituted the first leadership school.
