She was born January 16, 1948 in Pittsburg, Kansas to William M. and Mable Ruth (Slankard) Ramage, and was a lifetime Pittsburg resident. She attended George E.

Baptized in the South Broadway Baptist Church, she remained an active member most of her life. Through the years, she held various church offices, including Financial Secretary, Secretary of the Board of Christian Education, Sunday School Secretary, Diaconate member, as well as Church Secretary during her college years. Most recently, she was very involved in the Leadership Board at South Broadway Baptist Church.
