She was born blind, but this disability has not prevented her from living a full and active life. When she reached school age, she was sent away to be educated at a school for the blind in Buckinghamshire. She was given an ordinary elementary education, which included learning to read and write in Braille.
At the age of twenty, she married and had a family of four. During the time she was raising her children, she applied for a guide dog. Throughout her long life, she has known and loved five guide dogs, who have all been as dear to her as any child and the greatest help in her daily life when it came to getting about.
At the age of eighty-two, she now lives in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, in a small bungalow with her cat.
