 I didn't find any newspaper articles but she married the same year as her arrested.

Married William M Kouts (1895-1984) on 12 Jun 1919 in Vancouver, WA. Unfortunately this marriage didn't last, she married second, Ellis James Rodgers (1896-1974) married 3 Dec 1934 in Pierce County, WA. She didn't have any kids that I found but her second husband had kids from his first marriage.

I am not sure why she was on the streets getting into trouble but she seemed to turn her life around. I made her a tree on Ancestry. Not sure why some of these girls used "Bob" for an alias, I tried googling it and found nothing, but it is interesting.
