Her parents were visiting Louisiana around the time of her birth, and they drove all night to be back in Texas so she would be a true Texan.

She worked for several firms in Amarillo in the clerical field. Bob preceded her in death in 1987.
She eventually went to work at The Colony Art and Frame Shop. After the death of her husband, she joined the Amarillo Area Singles Dance Club where she met many friends. She met Donald Stephenson, and they were married in 1992.
