She graduated from Texas Woman's University with a degree in Education, and taught for over 40 years, mostly at Hollibrook Elementary School in Spring Branch ISD, as a Reading Specialist. She had a passion for teaching others to read, and she had a love of books herself.
She was a beloved daughter, sister, and aunt to her large extended family. She loved spending time with her family most of all. We were known to her as her “sweethearts”.
