She completed elementary school at SS. Peter and Paul School, and then enrolled in Good Counsel Academy. Her father worked for the School Sisters of Notre Dame on Good Counsel Hill, and when she was a senior, the family moved to an apartment on the Hill. She entered the School Sisters of Notre Dame by walking across the parking lot in 1950, and professed first vows in 1953. She taught in a number of Catholic Schools in Minnesota and Iowa and served as administrator for thirteen years. She was also responsible for school and parish music in several of her assignments. In 1992 she moved to St. Mary's Home in St. Paul, where she coordinated the Meals on Wheels program for three years. In 1995 she moved to southeastern Minnesota where she served the parishes and schools in Caledonia, Hokah and Brownsville in a variety of ways. She retired to Good Counsel Hill in 2013 and continued her music ministry in both the healthcare chapel and main chapel for a number of years.
