She graduated Morristown High School in 1943 and met her future husband, John Bumball, while working in Morristown, for the US Hammond and Piston Ring Company. They were married in 1951 and settled in Bernardsville, NJ. During the 1950’s she was a “working mother,” employed at F. W.

In her later working years, she was employed by various companies and worked as an electronics assembler. She was a member of the American Austin Bantam Car Club along with her husband John and participated in club meets, touring various states exhibiting two 1932 restored American Austin cars.
