She often expressed her gratitude to her parents for bringing her up in an especially close knit and loving family. Her parents and grandparents taught them by example, the paramount importance of consuming only FRESH vegetables, fruits, and natural foods. Her siblings were taught loyalty to family.

She went to Edwards Business School and learned typing and shorthand. Her strong regard for education was reflected in her determination to ensure that her children receive quality education. She was an advocate of healthy eating and took good care of her mind and body throughout her life. She enjoyed family time and special visits with her grandkids. She married Chief Petty Officer Phillip Moffett and to that union, three children were born: Larry, Gregory, and Cynthia Denise.

As a naval officer, the family was allowed to travel and live in places that included: Florida, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Virginia. Upon his retirement, the family resettled in Phenix City, AL amidst the larger Moffett family where they lived until Phillip’s transition in 1974.
