She graduated from " Sweet Old Combs" McIntyre High School in 1961. She received a basketball scholarship to attend Alcorn State University but decided to give up her dreams of becoming a nurse to fulfill her most passionate and rewarding desire of becoming a loving, nurturing, and devoting mother, and wife.
