She was born on July 15, 1944, in Augusta, Ga., and graduated from Richmond Academy. She then graduated from the University of Georgia and began her teaching career, which lasted 46 years. She was teaching in Augusta, Ga., when she met her future husband, who was stationed at Ft. Gordon, Ga.

She taught sixth grade math at Eastdale, G. Russell Brown, Barger, and Tyner Middle.
