She was born on May 7, 1936 to the late Maynard Chapman and Beatrice Chapman. Early in life she joined the Mt. Zion No. 2 Baptist Church in Grove Hill, where she was a member of the choir and served in many other capacities.

Before her health began declining, she enjoyed cooking delicious meals for her family, reading, writing and playing the piano, and especially spending time with her family.
