At the age of 28, Skjordahl married her husband and together they had two sons. She began ballroom dancing at the age of 70 and won many awards in competitions. She gave up dancing in her 100s and took up painting as a hobby. Skjordahl lived in Florida for several years before moving to Catalina Foothills, a small community north of Tucson, Arizona.

On her 110th birthday, Skjordahl was visited by family and friends. She stated that the secret to her longevity was to “keep busy and keep breathing.”
