She received a Bachelors Degree from Benedict College where she was a member of the choir and Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. She worked as teacher, social worker and receptionist prior to her illness.

"Life! We've been long together Through pleasant and through cloudy weather; 'Tis hard to part when friends are dear -- Perhaps 'twill cost a sigh, a tear; Then steal away; give little warning, Choose thine own time; Say not good night, but in some brighter clime Bid me good morning."
