I was born in England the third child in a family of four, both my parents were schoolteachers. At age 17 I left home to commence nursing training at Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital. During my final year I met my husband and on qualifying moved back to the Midlands to set up home while working as Sister in Charge of the Children's Ward at Kidderminster General Hospital.

We emigrated to Australia in 1970 with our two sons. We now have four grandchildren and are well established Australians.
