In her early twenties she went to Perth. Not long after, she met Frank Gare and they married in 1941. She began writing short stories for magazines and newspapers, and attended Perth Technical College to further her interest in art. Her husband went to Duntroon to become a patrol officer in Papua New Guinea, where the couple moved with their two children after the war. The eldest died tragically there. Two more children followed after their return to Perth. The family moved to Carnarvon, where Nene Gare helped run a banana plantation, then Geraldton.
