She was a proud '71 graduate of Science Hill High School, where she was a talented Majorette and saxophone player. After High School she pursued a degree from East Tennessee State University, in Dental Hygiene, in which she had a wonderful career before retiring.

A cherished wife and mother, who was the heart and soul of her family. She found great joy in her role as a devoted mother to her two beloved sons, Nathan and Jonathan, and treasured every moment spent with them. She was deeply involved in their lives, proudly supporting their school programs and serving as President of the PTA during their formative years.
