She was born in Louisville on July 6, 1941 and was a member of the Leitchfield High School Class of 1959. Formerly married to the late Carl ("Mitch") Mitchell, she lived in a variety of places and held a variety of jobs before settling in Falls of Rough in the mid-90's on the farm that once belonged to her grandparents. She stayed there for the rest of her life, which she devoted to maintaining the homestead and caring for her companion.

In addition, two grandchildren, Claire and Benjamin also survive, as does her companion of many years, Bear Rowell of Falls of Rough.

She was preceded in death by her mother Dorine Campbell and her brother Larry Campbell.
