Berkeley and Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, before earning a Master of Business Administration from Holy Names College and becoming an insurance agent with MetLife. In 2012, she moved to Phoenix and lived at Beatitudes Campus until her death. Her family includes sons; Charles (Susan) and Eugene (Beth), daughters; Nancy (Russ) and Elizabeth, and six grandchildren; Matthew, Sara, Emily, Ethan, Jordan and Gracelyn.
