After graduating from high school, she moved to Savannah, Georgia, and attended Draughon’s Business School where she learned shorthand. Afterward, she went to work at Union Camp Corporation where she met and married her late husband. They built their dream home in which they raised their two sons.

She was the church secretary for Cresthill Baptist Church for a number of years and volunteered for many positions in her churches including Vacation Bible School. She loved the Lord; prayed for her family, church, and friends; and read her Bible daily. She enjoyed sewing, macrame, and going to ceramic classes with her sister, Lavelle. She enjoyed spending time with her family and gardening. Her yard was always beautiful. Daylilies were among her favorite flowers.
