Before she started to school she learned to read from her siblings’ books. Growing up she learned a lot about life from the many books she read.
She grew up on tenant farms where she worked in the cotton fields and tended to the farm animals. Because of this she has a strong work ethic and loves to play making up for the fun she missed as a child.
She married at the age of eighteen. The family spent summer vacations camping and toured all of The United States except Hawaii. Some of the other areas of travel included an extended education trip to The Soviet Union.
