In 1942 she graduated from Kittrell High School and graduated from Nashville Beauty and Barber in Nashville the following year. She was a member of Third Baptist Church. Pallbearers will be her sons-in-law and grandsons. The family would like to thank everyone for their prayers, visits, cards and calls during her long decline.
