She was born December 14, 1922 in Ava, Missouri. She taught in a one-room school house in Missouri prior to moving to Idaho.
She met her husband, L.C. Dennis while working in the onion fields and they were married May 6th, 1944. Their two children: daughter, Glenda, and son, Larry, were their pride and joy.
