Her earthly life began on April 4, 1931, in Okarche, OK when she was born eldest of 4 children to Ted & Evelyn McCray. In 1947 she left school to begin a 71-year adventure with the love of her life, Wilford Moberly. The marriage which began February 7, 1947, was blessed with 3 daughters, Alta, Rita, and Annita, and called many places home before settling down in Edmond OK.

Love of travel led the couple to visit all 50 United States and all bordering provinces of Canada and Mexico.
