After graduating from Cyprus High School she worked as a nurse's aid at St. Marks Hospital in Salt Lake City. While there she had the opportunity to work with Polio Patients whom she dearly loved.
In 1950 she was called to serve in the Canadian Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where she made many lifelong friends.
She married LeRoyden Heslop on June 9, 1952 in the Salt Lake Temple. Together they had six sons whom they raised on the Heslop farm in Kaysville, Utah.

She was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many church callings. Her favorite calling was teaching her laurel class. She loved "her girls" and they loved her.
