Her early life was spent in the Hodgdon area where she had fond memories of picking potatoes, swimming in Mill Pond, and playing on the Hodgdon High basketball team with her lifelong friend, Marie Rouse McGlauflin. Later she worked as a switchboard operator at Houlton Army Air Base, where she met her husband, Richard, who was stationed there. After World War II they moved to Brewer. For many years she cherished their August vacations in Prince Edward Island. She was secretary to the principal at Brewer High School for 20 years where she made many lasting friendships. She enjoyed worshipping with her church family at Calvary Baptist Church, Brewer, until arthritis forced her to be homebound. She served for several years as church librarian there and on several other committees as well. During her retirement years she was an avid Red Sox fan. She always had a good word for them even during the down years.
