She was raised in Seminole attending school there until the 2nd grade moving to Healdton where she attended school at Wirt and Dundee.

From that point on, she became a devoted homemaker making her famous dishes for holidays, making hamburgers every Saturday, making tons of memories at the lake with her family and never missing a hair appointment that always lead to a lunch date with Bill.
