After graduating from Hannah High School (Hannah, ND) in 1934, she attended college for one year.

While on summer break she met Wilford C. Ausbrook an Illinois resident who came to harvest wheat in North Dakota. After a brief courtship they were married in Langdon on 14 September 1935 and relocated shortly thereafter to Peoria, Illinois where Wilford found work with the LeTourneau earthmoving equipment company. They lived in Peoria for the next 38 years before Wilford retired from a LeTourneau successor company.
