After returning from Italy in 1914, she lived in New York City where she met Timothy Mather Spelman (1891-1970), a musician and composer. As an accomplished poet and author, she often contributed to Timothy's compositions. In 1931 they purchased Villa Razzolini in Florence, and returned to it after the war in 1947. The Spelmans bequeathed the Villa to Johns Hopkins University and it became the Charles S. Singleton Center for Italian Studies. The university recently sold the property.
