Raised during the Great depression, she learned to live a life of humility and service to others. As a young woman, she worked for General Electric as an executive secretary for over 5 years where she was awarded for her expertise in shorthand and typing. In March 1951, she married the man of her dreams Edward J. Kinslow and together they raised 6 children.

She attended Catholic school for the duration of her education and was a graduate of the Class of 1943 at Little Flower High School. She was passionate about helping others and practicing her faith by praying a daily rosary, participating in the pro-life events, Marian devotions, and supporting the Mother’s home in Darby. More than anything, she enjoyed spending time with her large family and practicing her Catholic faith.
