Her second home was Dallas where she graduated from Southern Methodist University with a Bachelor's of Business Management with specialization in Finance.

She was ranked in the top ten in the world for non-professional cutting horse riders in 1987.
Her passion for gardening began as a grade school student having grown unusual ferns and houseplants. In 1992, she bought Bill Munson's book on daylilies at a Houston nursery and was amazed by the variety of color. Within months, her interest became an obsession as garden beds became larger, wider and full of daylilies. While attending the Mid-Winter Symposium in Tennessee, she met Kay Day and David & Betty Burton. They encouraged her to become involved in Region 6, which she did and she also joined American Hemerocallis Society in 1992.
She served as a member of the American Hemerocallis Society Awards and Honors Committee and served two terms on the American Hemerocallis Society Financial Committee.
