After graduating from Eastern High School in Washington, D.C., she attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg and then moved to Roanoke to pursue a career in the insurance industry that spanned over fifty years, during which time she became the first woman in the Roanoke Valley to achieve the CPCU (Certified Casualty and Property Underwriter) designation. She taught Sunday School at Southview United Methodist Church for many years as well as insurance classes for various groups including fire service investigators. Her main priority, however, was always her five children. The family would like to thank Amdeisys Hospice Care for their kind and compassionate care and support during the last few weeks. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the American Cancer Society 2840 Electric Road Suite # 106 Roanoke, Virginia 24018 designated for lung cancer research.
