Born in Brockton, she was raised and educated in Brockton and was a graduate of Brockton High School, Class of 1959. She also attended Pierce Secretarial School in Boston. In 1964, she married F.

Above all, her greatest joy was her family. She truly loved being a mother and grandmother and treasured the time she spent with her children and grandchildren. From sporting events, dance recitals, babysitting, musical gigs, and everyday moments, she never missed a thing. Nothing made her happier than simply being with her family.
