She grew up in the Loango and Red Level area of Alabama and graduated from Red Level High School in 1947. On December 20, 1952 she and Robert Lee Resso were married in Mobile, Alabama, where they lived until they were transferred to Orangevale, California. After 5 years in California they were transferred to Dayton, Ohio where they stayed until 1975. They then transferred back to Orangevale, California until retirement in 1981. That was the beginning of their dream of moving to Idaho and building their retirement home on Gypsy Bay. The joys in her life were her children, grand children, great-grandchildren, and her long distance family. The grandchildren knew Grandma would “save” them when their parents were disciplining.
