She was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church and was a graduate of Delphos Jefferson. She was a home maker and also had worked at the Buckeye Pipe Line in Lima and West Ohio Gas in Delphos. She was a member of The Eastern Star Chapter 26, earning a 50 year pin. She was also very active in the Trinity United Methodist Altar Guild, the Delphos Public Library, and volunteered at the Delphos Thrift Shop.
