She graduated from Stone High School in 1963, where she was active in the homemakers' club and the social action club. Married to a U.S. Air Force man, she traveled the world, living in Greece, Japan and several U.S. cities from 1963 until 1978 when she became a financial advisor at First Merchants Bank in Richmond, Virginia.
