Her husband, following a call to the ministry, moved the family to Hannibal, Missouri to attend Hannibal LaGrange College and then to Liberty, Missouri to attend William Jewell College.

Returning to St. Louis County, her husband became pastor of Castlewood Baptist Chapel in 1962 where served as pastor's wife and volunteer church secretary for more than a decade.
