From ages five to nineteen, she grew up in Doylestown, Bucks County, PA, and graduating in 1972 from Christopher Dock Mennonite High School in Lansdale, PA. As a teenager, she played piano, violin in the orchestra, and worked with developmentally disabled children in Point Pleasant, PA.
After moving to Fayetteville in 1974, she graduated from nursing school and spent thirteen years at Washington Regional Medical Center, serving six years in Intensive Care, and was an original member of WRMC's first dedicated IV team.
In 1978, only three months after their first meeting, she married

She retired from nursing in 1988, after the birth of her third child.

After battling a stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis in late 2004, she remained in remission for nearly six years, during which time she became a volunteer and eventual employee of the Springdale Public Library. An avid reader, she loved a good mystery or thriller, as well as the occasional trashy romance novel, and she shared her love of books with her husband and children.
