She attended Virginia Intermont in Bristol, Tennessee. Upon completing her preparatory education she attended Gulfport College for two years prior to completing her undergraduate education at University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee. She married Clyde D. Brown in 1946 after Clyde had completed his military service in World War II, including three years in a prisoner of war camp in Germany.
