She graduated from Jones County High School in 1928, and then attended the Georgia State College for Women in Milledgeville (now Middle Georgia College) where she was a member of the Delta Kappa Gamma sorority. She received her B.S. Ed. in 1932 and began teaching English and Latin at Twiggs County High School in Jeffersonville, Ga.
There she met Milledge White, the Twiggs County Agricultural Extension Agent who was a fellow boarder at the boarding house. They fell in love and were married on Thursday, June 25, 1936. They settled and began to raise a family with the birth of a son in 1939 and another son in 1941.
