Bio

You began your basketball career at Olivet as the captain of the intramural team in 1948-49. Later, your team played intercollegiate games with other women’s teams from the Midwest. In addition to being the captain, you were also the team’s leading scorer.

At the end of the 1949-50 season, you attended an awards ceremony in the Dole Hall Dining Room where you were presented a varsity letter. As a result, you became the first female to earn a varsity letter in a sport at Olivet.

After graduating from Olivet, you received a master’s degree in education from Wayne State University. For 12 years, you taught in the Lincoln Park School District. As a parent, you started a program for gifted children in a local school.

Olivet honors you and is proud to induct you into the Olivet College Athletic Hall of Fame on this 19th day of September, 2009.
