She attended Hope Mills High School and was a standout player on the girl's basketball team scoring 40+ points in one game.  She graduated from Pembroke State University (now UNCP) with a degree in Math Education and taught high school math for 30+ years at several Cumberland County Schools during her career with the longest being at South View High School and she spent a year as an instructor at NC State University where she received her Master's Degree in Math.
