She was born on December 27, 1939 in Prairie City, Oregon. She distinguished herself through her career with the US Forest Service in Pendleton and Vancouver, Washington, including as overhead teams on forest fires. After retiring from USFS, she moved to Wheeler, Oregon, where she ran the local Chamber of Commerce while assisting her husband’s contract business.
