She was baptized and confirmed in the Methodist faith and graduated from Ortonville High School. She attended secretarial school in Minneapolis before marrying Donald A. Sherman on June 5, 1936. They made their home in Clinton, Minnesota where she and Donald owned the Gambles Hardware Store. After it closed they moved to Brainerd, Minnesota in 1967, where she was a teacher's aide in the Brainerd school system until they retired.
