A native of Los Angeles, she began her writing career in the 1940s working as a reporter for the Los Angeles Daily Mirror.

After 10 years with that publication, she authored the short story "My Friend God," which led to a long relationship with Guideposts Magazine. she eventually became the magazine's West Coast editor, a position she held until 1994.

She is survived by a son, George; a daughter, Kristen; a brother, Richard; seven grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
