She was a true Southern "Steel Magnolia" who raised two boys, while she was a self-supporting, single parent.
She bought her own house after being employed as an executive secretary at the Air Force Base in Charleston and the DuPont Company in Camden, where she used short-hand to take dictation and write letters for executives who always depended on her and praised her for rewriting their letters so the letters meant what the executives really wanted to say, but did not know how to express.
