She was born on July 7th, 1927 in Page, Oklahoma only daughter of Cleon and William Hollingback.
She graduated from Pocatello High in 1945, and continued her education at Utah State University for one year, and always found ways to continue to learn.

She followed her feelings for others, giving and receiving love all her life. She personified the pure love of Christ. Many thought to call her mother.
She loved to cook and gathered recipes from everyone and everywhere. Her family was always her priority. She relished a special moment when she and her husband were sealed to their children in the Cardston, Alberta Temple for time and all Eternity.
