Born September 10, 1948 to Richard H. and Helen E. (McCann) Scales in Everett, Washington, she was raised in Lynwood, Washington. She worked as an accountant, and retired to Harrisville in 2011.

She enjoyed sewing, quilting, and painting.

(Kris) Mroczek of Seattle, WA, and Krisha Mroczek-Salmon of Tawas City, MI, two grandchildren, John F. Salmon IV, and Anna M. Salmon, three brothers, Richard, Bill, and Eugene Scales, as well as her sister-in-law, Valorie Bakker of Harrisville. She was preceded in death by two sisters, Agnes Strausser and Margaret Miller.
