She was raised in a military family. She moved frequently, living in cities across all four corners of the United States. Once her father retired from the Navy, the family returned to Silver city, New Mexico.

Throughout her life, she worked several jobs, from manager at Long John Silver's, to bank teller, to Sonic carhop, but her most cherished role was that of a homemaker to her loving family.

She had a deep love for Jesus and never hesitated to share her faith with anyone and everyone. She was a member of Desert Heights Church, where she helped with Sunday School.
