When their first child Håkan was born, on September 18, 1955, they were still living at Kadettgatan 3 in Stockholm. In November that year they moved from Kadettgatan to an apartment at Råsundavägen 41 in Solna just outside Stockholm. The house at Råsundavägen 41 was owned by her father-in-law Hugo Bergström. They first moved into an apartment of 1 room and a kitchen 3 1/2 floors up, and later to an apartment of 3 rooms and a kitchen 3 floors up. In that apartment they came to live until November 1987.

Two years later, their daughter, Birgitta, was born on March 28, 1958.

Her husband Matts-Rune was also the owner of a property on the northern Lagnö in Stockholm archipelago, Märteberg. He owned Märteberg together with his sister Inga-Greta Forswall. On the property there were three houses. Two of the houses were single-family houses and the third "Big Yellow Villa" contained two separate apartments. All houses were used in principle in the summer time and on weekends during the warmer months. Märteberg was her husband Eldorado, where he spent countless hours with nailing and sawing.

At Märteberg there were also some smaller houses, which included a carpentry named "Verkstan" and toilets. In one of these outbuildings there had previously been an ice stack. Her husband Matts-Rune converted that into a small simpler residence, and Brita, Matts-Rune and Håkan lived there the first month after the birth of the son.

A little later, Brita and her family were given the opportunity to use the upper floor of the "Great Yellow Villa" as a summer residence. After her husband's parents had died in the early 1960s, they could move to their house, "Brown Villa", which was renovated into a year-around-house. The third house, "Little Yellow Villa", was used by Matts-Runes sister Inga-Greta Forswall and her family at this time.

After the birth of Håkan, Brita stayed at home as a Housewife until early 1970s.

She was also very engaged in different associations, mainly within Solna Husmorsförening. There she planned for course activities and arranged a variety of courses for the members. She also planned trips to various places, including a trip to Rome.

During this time she also worked with the magazine "Readers Digest". She worked in their member department where mail orders that would be expedited.

During the first years of the 1970s she started working as a volunteer in the Red Cross at Karolinska Hospital. Later she was employed as a secretary at one of the surgical departments at KS.

In recent years she also participated in the Rebecca loge within Odd Fellow, both in Stockholm and later in Karlstad.

Brita loved people, being among them to talk and to discuss. Talking on the phone, she was like a pro. She would rarely miss a party, an event, a gathering or a meeting.

Her great interest was also to arrange dinners. She was a fantastic hostess and always wanted to do the best for her guests. An amazing hostess! Her caring for her guests was so significant that she often told and asked her guests to "Take more food!". "Are you satisfied?", "Take a little bit more...".

She also baked diligently. Buns, sugar cake and cakes, but also bread. A specialty was a small pastry called "Coconut Shapes".

On the other hand, she was totally uninterested of sports, but sewing was another of her great interests. When the children were young, she often sewed clothes for them.

In 1986 they lived in the apartment on Råsundavägen 41 in Solna. That same year, SJ contacted her husband Mastts-Rune. SJ now planned to build a rail tunnel through the mountain under Hagalund in Solna. This would affect the property on Råsundavägen 41, which was still owned by the family, now jointly by Matts-Rune and his sister Inga-Greta Forswall. The house was sold to SJ on January 12, 1987, which later tore it to build the new train tunnel.

At that time, Matts-Rune and Brita was offered a new rental apartment on Virebergsvägen 15 in Solna, where they also moved in in November 1987. The new apartment was a 4th room apartement on first floor. On July 4, 2001, the apartment was converted into a condominium.

Even though Brita lived in Solna, she never forgot her Värmland origin. She and her husband were, for example, members of the Värmland Society in Stockholm and they also often drove to Värmland to meet with their friends and relatives.

One of her loved relatives was her father's cousin Dagmar Andersson. She lived in the old family farm Hösserudkullen in the Alsters parish. Brita and Matts-Rune often visited her when they were in Värmland. Dagmar was unmarried and had no own children. When Dagmar died in 1990, she had tested her farm to Brita and her family. Suddenly and unexpectedly, Brita became owner of a farm 20 kilometers north of Karlstad.

Initially the rooms downstairs in the manor house were rented out and the upper floor was used by Brita and her family when visiting Värmland. After a few years, the ownership was changed so that her son Håkan became the owner of the entire property.

In 2004, Matts-Rune sold its part of the property Märteberg on Norra Lagnö. After the sale of Märteberg, Brita and Matts-Rune instead got the opportunity to live in the little cottage called "Grindstugan" on the farm Hösserudkullen. There they lived for most of the year, except for the winter months.

They had still the apartment on Virebergsvägen 15 in Solna, but in late 2007 they made the decision to move to Karlstad. They bought a residence of three rooms on second floor on Hamngatan 32B. .

During the fall of 2011, her husband Matts-Rune became sick and he later died 27 July 2012 at Åsbacka Vårdhem in Molkom north of Karlstad.

Brita, who himself had difficulty with both sight and walking, could not manage himself at the apartment at Hamngatan in Karlstad. One opportunity opened in the autumn of 2012 and she was offered an apartment in the municipality of Karlstad for eldery people at Ventilgatan 18 in Växnäs, where to she also moved.

There she participated in something called the "Day Activity", a trial activity that Karlstad municipality set up to activate the elderly people in the house and not to be isolated in their apartments. An activity she really appreciated and that later became permanent.

Since many years, Brita had also suffered from Stroke and occasionally she had "10:or", a form of mild brain hemorrhage.

After a more serious brain bleeding on Thursday, December 8, 2016, she never recovered. Brita died on December 12 in the suites after the brain bleeding. Just a week later she would have reached 91 years. The funeral took place in Alster's church on Thursday, January 5, 2017.
