She was born on March 2, 1920 in Joseph, Oregon to John and Ruth Meadows Bennett. She was the fifth child of seven sisters and two brothers.

While her husband attended seminary at Phillips University in Enid, Oklahoma, she took courses in Old and New Testament Literature, and audited some other courses.
Through the years her involvement with the church included the usual: plus at times, being secretary, putting out bulletins and newsletters, calling with her husband, and being involved with church camps and conferences.
