She moved to Atlanta in 1972 and attended Shallowford Elementary in Dunwoody and Crestwood High School in Roswell. She went to Texas Christian University where she majored in chemistry (two 4.0’s!!). She went to Mercer Medical School in Macon for 2 ½ years until she had to drop out due to complications connected to her Type 1 Diabetes (which she developed at age 4).
She worked for 10 years for WGCL-TV CBS Atlanta and was a wonderful caregiver for many people both children and the aged.
In 2020, she went on peritoneal dialysis due to kidney failure and though her medical background equipped her to handle this, her body could no longer take it.
