She attended Union Theological Seminary, the University of Maryland, Hanna Theological Seminary at Wittenberg University and Columbia University, New York, N. Y.
Ordained into the ministry shortly following graduation, she served 50 years as pastor, minister of Christian education and minister of pastoral care.
