She worked in the Jerome School District for many years in various capacities. She was a longtime member of the First Baptist Church in both Utah and Idaho.

She was a very loving woman who enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She loved attending their activities, sporting events and school programs. She took great pride and lived for her family. She loved her dog Daisy and cat Boo. She loved to be outdoors and to watch Nascar and football with her children and grandchildren.
