Born in Hollis, Oklahoma March 10, 1920, she was raised in Abernathy, Texas and graduated from West Texas State Teachers College. She and Mr. Poff moved to San Angelo in 1948 where she was employed as a teacher for 40 years before retiring in 1984. Her teaching sites included Lakeview, Ft. Concho Elementary, Washington Middle School, and John Glenn Jr. High. She was a member of Johnson Street Church of Christ since 1949.

Special thanks to her beloved caretaker Ellie Vasquez, Hospice Plus and Cottonwood Estates Assisted Living Center.

From a humble childhood which included picking cotton and doing without, to leaving home for college by catching a ride on a fuel delivery truck to Canyon, Texas, to becoming an absolutely fabulous teacher, beginning in Gruver, Texas, she fought the good fight, she finished her course, and she kept the faith. She loved her former students. She will be missed and remembered.
