At the age of 18 she united in Holy Matrimony to Minister Robert L. Buchanan and to this union nine children were born.

In 1952 Willie moved to Indianapolis, Indiana where she continued her work in the Church of God In Christ. As a Pastor's wife, she would visit members of the church as well as pray for the sick. She also served as the District Youth Leader and Missionary.
