At nineteen years of age, she began her teaching career with eight grades in a log cabin schoolhouse. In 1949, she married L. F. Ivanhoe, a petroleum geologist, and moved to Taft, California. She has lived in Libya, Israel, Turkey, Italy, Colombia, and Mexico.
Her work has been published in Saturday Evening Post, Sunset Magazine, and various children's magazines. In 2007, she wrote "The Intrepid Fox," the story of her family's challenging pioneer life in Northern Alberta. In 2011, a second book, "Lord Save Me From Taft,'' a tale of a young bride's struggle to adapt to life in a foreign land was published by Shoreline Press.
Today she lives in Santa Barbara, California, with her husband, Hugh Smart, where she is active in community affairs when she is not busy in her garden.view less
