She was born January 19, 1935, in Binghamton, NY, to Ray H. & Anna J. Bolt. She graduated from Zephyrhills High School in 1953 and the Mound Park Hospital School of Nursing in 1956. She had a long career as a surgical nurse having worked for Mound Park Hospital in St. Petersburg, Lakeland General Hospital, Jackson Memorial and Dade City Hospital.

The hymn, "What God Hath Promised" by Annie Johnson Flint reminds us:

God has not promised skies always blue, 

Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through; 

God has not promised sun without rain, 

Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

But God has promised strength for the day, 

Rest for the labor, light for the way, 

Grace for the trials, help from above, 

Unfailing kindness, undying love. 

A Celebration of Her Life will be held 11:00 am, Saturday, March 21, 2026, at the 301 Chapel of Hodges Family Funeral Home in Dade City 11441 Hwy 301, Dade City, FL 33525.
