She attended CU Boulder where she met her first husband, who was the father of her two sons. She was a mother and wife in the space-age, rapidly growing Los Angeles of the 1950s then continued the family life in Modesto CA until the marriage dissolved and she moved first to Sacramento then back to Denver.
She worked for Fran's catering in Golden for many years until on retiring she met her last husband hiking in the Rockies.
The last 35 years of her life were a fairytale, alternating life in a sprawling foothill estate near Sedalia, with traveling through every state by camper, and going on tours in Europe and beyond.
While enjoying a lifestyle of considerable class, she had a plain spoken down-to-earth manner.
