She was raised in the Lee Road community and met the love of her life while attending a basketball game. She married Marcel and started a family in the Covington community. She was a homemaker most of her life raising three children in the First Baptist Church of Abita Springs. Later in life she worked at Lyon Elementary school and Gilsbar Inc. She loved travelling, painting, Elvis, Diet Coke, playing family games at her kitchen table and reading her Bible.
