Freddye and Elmer attended Daniel Baker College in Brownwood, graduating and beginning their careers in the Texas schools where Freddye taught for more than 30 years. As the trailing spouse of a coach, Freddye taught whatever subject was open in Rusk, Hull-Daisetta, Orangefield, Anahuac and Mexia, Texas, but her primary teaching field was English. In retirement Elmer and Freddye traveled extensively in their RV, and Freddye continued her lifelong love of reading and playing bridge.
