She attended high school in Woodsville where she was a hard-working student who "earned her keep" staying with different families, while studying for her high school diploma.

In 1951 she married George Charles Woods, and together they had three children whom they raised in their home, two houses down the road from her aunt's house, at the end of the Bath Covered Bridge.
