She was born on October 1, 1913 in Helena, Arkansas and at the age of two moved with her family to Derry, New Hampshire, where she lived until attending Radcliffe College.

She leaves three children (Arthur Wenk, Carol Bellisio and David Wenk) and five grandchildren (Nina, Angela and Carla Bellisio, Adriana Wenk, and Anne Wenk).A memorial service will be held on December 29th at the Community Church of Mountain Lakes.
