She attended Kershaw County Schools and graduated Valedictorian of her class in 1951 at Baron DeKalb High School. She was a Registered Cosmetologist, owned her own beauty salon and was owner of Jordan Farms in Lee County until her retirement in 1998. She was of the Methodist faith and was a member of Concord United Methodist Church, where she was a former pianist, choir member, Sunday School Teacher, and Lay Speaker. She grew up and married in Kershaw County, but moved with her husband and children to Lee County in 1964, where she lived until her health declined.
