She was born on Sept. 23, 1914, in Van Zandt County, to William H. and Mary Miles Hindman. She moved to Spur in 1924, where she attended Dry Lake School and graduated from Spur High School in 1932. She moved to Lubbock to attend Texas Tech and later graduated from Draughn's Business School. She married Lavell J. Abbott on June 1, 1940, in Lubbock. He preceded her in death in 2000.
She worked as a bookkeeper for The Lubbock Avalanche Journal and KFYO Radio until they began their family. After their children were reared, she worked for W.D. Turner Const. Co. until her retirement in 1983.
She was a faithful member of First Baptist Church since 1936. She attended the dedication of the new sanctuary at its current location in 1950.
