Her childhood years were spent in Massena, and she graduated from Massena High School in 1946. Following graduation she worked at the Dime Store in Atlantic, IA, for eight years. On October 22, 1950, she was united in marriage to Arlo Murray. Along with taking care of her home and family, she worked as a bookkeeper for the local Phillips 66 station.
