She graduated with her Bachelor of Arts at Spelman College, Class of 1956, and received her Master of Arts in Education from Atlanta University (now Clark Atlanta University). She had a love for animals and served a three-year tour and duty with the U.S. Women’s’ Army Corps as a medicine technician during the Korean War. In addition, she served for 30 years as a primary teacher in Fulton County schools and was a reading specialist on the Fulton County Board of Education. She was a dedicated and active member of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and was a St. Angela Circle Member.

May she be remembered as someone who sought to epitomize the definition of a Christian by her love of God, her friendly and caring personality, her respect for all of God’s creatures, and her love for her family and friends.
