She was born on December 27, 1933, at Sandtown, AR to the late Charlie and Melissa Ethel (Baxter) Roach. She grew up in Sandtown and attended school at nearby Cave City, AR and graduated from Cave City High School. She moved to the Wenatchee Valley in 1958, where she resided in Cashmere and worked in area orchards and waitressed in local restaurants.
