She grew up in Georgetown, and as a teenager she taught herself to play guitar, sing, yodel, and oil paint. In adulthood, she entertained at nursing homes and other public events with her music, mostly old-time country, bluegrass, and gospel. She loved painting Maine seascapes and ships.

Her second husband was Theodore Anderson (deceased).
Her third husband was Ellery “Bud” Munsey (deceased). Her stepdaughters from that marriage are Josephine York (husband Frederick York), Fay St. Pierre (husband Raymond St. Pierre), and Millis Perry.

The family wishes to thank the Skolfield House, Winship Green, and Beacon Hospice for their kind, patient, loving care she received in her last years.
