Life on the farm in her early years included milking cows and preparing broom corn for market.  Her first six years of school were in a two-room country school.  She completed high school at Central High School at the end of World War II, after her family had moved to Oklahoma City. 

Upon graduation she started her first job at Tinker Air Force Base, where she met Willie J. Rosebeary.  The two were married on December 7th, 1951 and celebrated 63 years of marriage together. The couple would go on to have five children and followed work to California.  She worked as an accounting secretary for many years.  Her husband’s career led them back to Tulsa, Oklahoma and eventually settled in their home in Owasso, Oklahoma.
