Born of stalwart English, Swedish, Danish pioneer stock; she lived her long, accomplished life on a sizable portion of the Hintze homestead in Holladay.
Graduating from Granite High School, she later graduated with high honors from Westminster College with a degree in European history and Spanish which became her passion traveling and absorbing the Spanish culture. For years she attended a Spanish Branch teaching Relief Society, loving the members and hearing and singing her much loved hymns in Spanish.
