She was raised and received her education in Windthorst, Sask., Arborg and Beausejour. She received her hairdressing license at Scientific Marvel Hair Designing School. She met and eventually married Ken Chopp in May, 1973. They established their home in Anola and in 1993 moved to Dugald. She ran her own salon out of the basement of their home.
