She received her elementary and junior high education in the Worthington, MN public schools. Her family moved to Paullina in 1931 where she graduated from Paullina High School in 1934. After graduation, she was employed in the office of the Paullina Times for seven years. In December of 1939, she was married to Kermit Jacobson at the Grace Methodist Church in Paullina by the Reverend J. M. Howedeshell.
