Her family moved to Cortland, NY where she graduated from Cortland High School.

She was very active in the Columbia Congregational Church serving in various capacities over the decades.

She was also a member of the Hebron (Hebron-Columbia) Daylighters Quilt Group until its dissolution to name a few.
She and her husband enjoyed traveling the eastern part of the US and Canada in their truck camper. They also traveled to Hawaii and the Philippines before his final illness. She later traveled to Elder Hostel (now Road Scholars) programs, traveling to all 48 of the contiguous United States, and visited Alaska as well. She traveled to England, Scotland, several European countries and Australia, to name a few, with friends and fellow quilters.
