She married Isaac, her childhood sweetheart, in 1944 in Clarksville, Texas. They moved to Shreveport in 1946 where they have lived the remainder of her life. She graduated in 1946 from Dimple High School in Dimple, Texas, and in 1976 from Centenary College where she earned in A. S. in Business Administration and Accounting.
