She was educated at San Antonio area schools, attending Messiah Lutheran School, and Harlandale Junior High and Senior High, before graduating from Edison in 1960. She went to San Antonio College and Southwest Texas State College in San Marcos, now called Texas State University, where she obtained a teaching certificate. Life itself was a learning experience.
