My wife is legally blind, which I continually tell her makes her an ideal candidate for umping. (Heck, she would be able to smell better calls than some fans I have heard.) So, no, she doesn't umpire. However, we were both very active on my daughter's teams as she was growing up. Me doing the coaching thing and her organizing fund raisers and making the requisite phone calls and such.
As for going to the games when I am umpiring, she has. She is extremely supportive of my (hobby, pastime, second career...insert your choice). However, most of the time she takes care of things on the homefront when I am out calling ball.
