Following her graduation from Ninnekah High School, she received a Bachelor of Science in Education from Oklahoma College for Women in Chickasha. She taught Home Economics at Dibble High School during her first year of teaching and then taught fourth grade in Lawton at John Adams Elementary and seventh grade literature at Eisenhower Junior High School for 28 years.
