After her birth, she and her mother moved to Monterey, Calif. for a year, to be with her dad who was serving in the Army. She lived in Boise, Idaho until the age of 10, and then her family moved to a farm near Parma, Idaho. She attended schools in Boise and Fruitland, Idaho, graduating from Fruitland High School. After graduating high school, she moved to Payette, Idaho, where she worked as a Telephone Operator. She then moved to Salt Lake City, Utah to attend LDS Business College and worked at the University Club in Salt Lake City. While living in Salt Lake she was introduced to Richard Grant Cooley, by a close friend. They were married in the Logan LDS Temple on Sept. 30, 1965. Together they made their home in Newton, Utah and were blessed with three children Pamela, Jeremy and Justin. She worked for the Herald Printing Colo. in Logan, Utah until her first child was born.
