She was born in Denver, Colorado, on September 30, 1913, and lived a full and adventurous life. During World War II she volunteered to help load ammunition into shells as her way of helping with the war, it’s there she met Robert Hurst and married him in 1945 and shortly after they moved to Aspen, Colorado.
