She grew up enjoying, exploring and playing piano and keyboard. As an adult, she worked for the Inland Northwest Blood Bank for several years as a dedicated employee, always with a passion for this vocation.

In 2018 she married her husband, Mark Roylance; together having a very happy Christian life spent either at their property or traveling; they always enjoyed their time together. Her other big love in life was caring for her animals, both pets and farm animals. She was devoted to them and received much joy from all the animals she shared her life with, especially her deranged cockatoo, Charlie.
