She was born on May 24, 1932, in Gardner to Ray and Bonnie Green. They preceded her in death. She was the fourth child out of seven. On Sept. 8, 1950, she married Arland Mapes in Gardner.

She owned her own ceramics shop in Natoma. She ran the office of a marina resort, which she co-owned in the Lake of the Ozarks, Mo. She also owned and operated the first Victorian gift shop in that area. She was known as an open-minded person with a willingness to learn and explore new things. Her friends said of her, "To know her is to love her."
