One of eight children, she was born in Altoona, Pennsylvania before her family moved to Philadelphia. She met her husband while working as a telephone operator at Dun & Bradstreet. She & Don were married in 1956 and proceeded to have six children and six grandchildren. Throughout her life, her focus was always on her family and her faith. After getting married, she lived in Upper Darby and Drexel Hill, PA, Charlotte, NC and Wilmington, DE before moving to Somerset in 1978. She was very involved with St. Matthias Church.
