A graduate of Bessemer High School, she sang alto in the Chorus, and performed in the All-State Chorus in 1954. She continued her love of singing and music as a member of church choirs and women’s groups for many years.
As a young girl, she committed her life to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and followed his teachings as best she could the rest of her life. She was a member of many churches, including the Christian Assembly in Midland, Wildwood Chapel in Aliquippa, Calvary Assembly in Bessemer, and most recently New Castle First Assembly of God.
