From a young age, she was very active in sports and played tennis, volleyball, basketball, and softball. She also enjoyed watching college and professional football. She graduated from Howard Junior College with an Applied Arts Degree in Accounting. She worked as a secretary/receptionist for Galbraith Steel and Supply in Lubbock, and then for Lawrence & Littlefield, CPA’s. Upon moving to San Antonio in 1972 she worked for Howell Hydrocarbons, Inc. as the accounting manager. In 1995 she returned to Colorado City to care for her Mother and began volunteering at the Wallace Senior Center. Her business skills were put to good use as the Treasurer of the Loraine Ex-Students Association, a position she held for many years.

She enjoyed music and was a member of the Loraine Quartet, singing gospel music throughout the area with Roscoe Hudgins, Don Richard, Archie Scarbrough and her mother, Wilma, on the piano. She loved Southern Gospel as well as Country and collected many albums, and cds. As much as she loved sports and music, she probably loved her pets and family and friends even more. She was always willing to help others and was loyal and dependable.
