She was the fifth child of her parents; preceded in death by siblings Albert, Jr., Lillian, Joseph, Margaret, Franklin, and Nathan. She was married to Edward A. Rosprim, Jr., in July 1945 who died in October 1975.
She was primarily a homemaker with a short career as a receptionist in a doctor’s office and Scotsdale Baptist Church. She was a life-long Christian and Southern Baptist since she accepted the Lord at age 11. She was very active in ministries at Schertz Baptist Church, Eastwood Baptist Church, and Scotsdale Baptist Church.

She was an accomplished painter with oils and watercolors, as well as creating many ceramics to include jewelry and stained glass. She was also an avid gardener and reader.
