The family immigrated to Canada in 1927. She attended Bonnie Hill School and then went to work as domestic help. It was while working for the Murphy Hanson family that she met the love of her life, Harvey Hanson. They were married on November 5, 1941. The following year twins Dale & Darlene arrived. Farming was their occupation.
