She was born in Point Pleasant Beach and attended grammar school and high school there, graduating in 1938. She attended Drexel Institute (now Drexel University) and graduated from the Washington School for Secretaries in 1941. She was a member of several hereditary societies, including the VanKouwenhoven-Conover Family Association, Descendants of Founders of New Jersey, and the Order of the Crown of Charlemagne.
