She married George Gallie Nasmith, a bacteriologist with the Canadian Army Medical Corps, on 20 January 1916 in Toronto.
Her next move was to Colorado, where she met William Bryant Raff, a mining accountant who lived in Aspen and was born in Philadelphia.
Her husband fell ill with pulmonary tuberculosis, so they moved to Arizona and then Owen Sound, where he died on 5 July 1897.
In 1899 she transferred to the Toronto College of Music and became assistant principal of its School of Elocution, Oratory, Physical Culture and Dramatic Art.
She also acted from 1902 to 1913 as director of physical education at Victoria's Annesley Hall and from 1903 to 1906, she was principal of the school of elocution at the Toronto College of Music.
The school's sponsor, Margaret Eaton, declined to pay further contributions, and Scott Raff resigned as principal.
