She attended Hendersonville High School from elementary school until the 10th grade and graduated high school at St. Mary's School in Raleigh NC. She graduated college at Woman's College of the University of NC. She returned home and worked with her father at The Moland Drysdale Corp. until she married her high school sweetheart Frank Lesesne Todd, Sr. on October 23, 1948. She was active in her children's lives serving as a Girl Scout Leader, band parent, PTA, Boy Scout Mother and dance mom. She made everyone feel welcomed in her home. She was a member in the Junior Welfare Club, the Hendersonville Country Club, The Cotillion Club, The German Club and one of her favorites, The Possum Holler Club. She served on various committees at the Hendersonville Presbyterian Church where she was a member for 92 years. After the death of her father in 1964, she and her husband continued the operation of The Moland Drysdale Corporation. They developed The Etowah Valley Golf Club at the site of the old Etowah Brick Company that her father owned. She and her husband retired in 1987. Thereafter they enjoyed winter months in Pompano Beach Florida until his death in 2005. She enjoyed living at Carolina Village for the past 11 years.
