She attended rural schools in South Dakota before moving to Akron with her family in 1930. She graduated from Akron High School in 1936 and attended Westmar College in LeMars, Iowa. She began teaching at the age of nineteen, and taught at many rural Iowa schools including Breezy Hill, Portland Township, Union Consolidated School, near Le Mars, and Wall Lake, Iowa School. She was the only teacher in Plymouth County with a two-year degree that made her eligible to teach in a consolidated school. In 1943, she along with her sister Irene worked at the Boeing Aircraft Factory in Seattle, Washington helping to build bombers for the military during World War II. She married Matthew James Gale, son of Lawrence and Catherine Gale, on September 12, 1946 in Akron, Iowa after his discharge from the Army. Following their marriage, she taught at the Preston Township School north of Akron, and later began teaching at the Westfield, Iowa school in 1958 where she taught eighth and fifth grade. She retired from teaching at Westfield in 1982 after twenty-three years of teaching there. Also, in 1982 she completed her four-year college degree, which had always been one of her goals.
