She attended four different schools while living in the same place. The first was a one room school in Camden. She than attended Elk, Riverside, and graduated from Newport High School in 1950. After graduating she stayed and worked on the farm along with her parents and siblings until they sold. At this time, she would move to Spokane. She lived with her mom, dad and sister Vera.
