She attended the University of Tennessee at Knoxville on 4H Scholarship majoring in Animal Husbandry with a concentration on Dairy. Hardship on the Farm brought her back to Madison County in 1950. Her return home began her 40 year career with Southern Bell (AT&T) where she started in Humboldt. Walking to work, she met a handsome young man, Charles McKnight.
