She grew up in Morrisvill­e and Cazenovia and graduated high school from Cazenovia Central School in 1944.

She also sang in the church choir at the Morrisvill­e Community Church to which she belonged for many years. With the assistance of her many church friends, she was even able to attend and sing a few times this past year.
