After graduating from Erlanger Lloyd high school in Erlanger, KY, she attended Morehead State College in Morehead, KY. There she met her future husband, Gerald Yentes. They married August 31, 1957.

Her hobbies included doing Bunka (Japanese embroidery), reading, traveling and watching sports, especially the Tampa Bay Rays after moving to Florida. A gracious and dearly loved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, she enjoyed spending time with family and friends and will be greatly missed by all who know and loved her.
