After graduating from Hagerstown High School in 1956, she went to Columbia Business School for Accounting and then went to work for Accelerated Transport Pony Express until 1962, when she married Philip J.

Other places she worked over the years (mostly accounting) were Morgan Keller; Hagerstown News Distributors; Flameless Heating Supply; Hagerstown Shoe Company; Merkle (Data Entry); and DMP (Data Entry).
