Her father retired in Virginia her senior year of high school and she went on to attend Virginia Tech. The first month there she met her husband Steve and they married soon after graduation. They lived in Baltimore, Maryland for the first fourteen years of their married life, where their children Phillip, Zachary, and Anna were born. In 1998 a job brought the family to Richmond.
