She was born on Feb. 12, 1934 in Detroit, Mich., and grew up in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee, where she was raised by her grandparents and received her early education, studying by kerosene lamps for grade school and high school because there was no electricity in the region.

She was active in community service projects by driving for meals-on-wheels, working with Herald 4-H and Galt FFA, supporting the Sacramento County Fair youth activities, building Herald Park, and making improvements to Arcohe School and Herald Post Office.
