Born and raised in Morehead, Kentucky, she married her high school sweetheart, Roger. Married to her beloved Roger for 57 years, she was devoted to him and her three children, Leta (Doug), Brent (Jenna), and Julee (Phil). Her love extended to her eight grandchildren, Brooke, Corinne (Aaron), Zachary, Paige, Morgan, Logan, Phebe, and Mia Leta, and her great-granddaughter, Whitley.
