In 1942, she graduated from Washington High School in Milwaukee. She went to work for the Telephone Company and later for Clark Oil where she worked in accounting until her retirement. She fell in love with Elroy Dallmann, whom she married on September 1, 1945. Blending their church denominations, together along with their three children, they joined the Missouri Synod by becoming members at the Hales Corners Lutheran Church.
