She was born on December 24, 1950 in Charleston. She grew up in Webb, and had retired in Hernando.
She graduated from West Tallahatchie High School in 1968. She had a wonderful career in banking throughout her life. She was a wonderful, upbeat, positive person who had always been there for anyone needing a helping hand.

In her spare time, she enjoyed swimming, sewing, site-seeing, shopping, and gardening. She was strong in her faith in God and she will be dearly missed by everyone.
