She graduated from New Britain High School where she excelled at various sports. She earned her RN diploma from St. Francis Hospital School of Nursing. After retiring from nursing she earned her real estate license and joined her husband in his real estate appraisal business.

She was married to Thomas J. Ringrose of New Britain for 42 years. Thomas predeceased her in 2004.
