She was born in 1915. She was a native of Corpus Christi and a graduate of Corpus Christi High School. She married Jack S. Love in 1936.

After his death, she was employed by the Corpus Christi Housing Authority where she was APHA manager for the first housing for low income elderly in Corpus Christi. It was during this time that she met and married Clarence V. Smidt. They enjoyed many years of ballroom dancing together, and upon her retirement after 20 years of service, they enjoyed traveling.
