Born April 2, 1936, in Anson County, NC she was the daughter of the late Robert Glenn Tice and Lucy Evelyn Thomas Tice.  She attended and graduated from Wadesboro High School and Women’s College (Now UNCG).  She was a member of Central United Methodist Church and was a retired school teacher with 34 years of service, having served in Columbia, SC, College Park, MD, Cheraw, SC, 20 years at Walter Bickett, and 8 years at Benton Heights.  In retirement, she volunteered at Healthquest, Walter Bickett School, and Central United Methodist Church where she was an officer of the Pathfinders Sunday School Class, on the Worship Committee, leader of the New Directions Group, and a Bible School Volunteer.  She enjoyed bridge, cross stitch, and playing dominoes with her friends. 

She loved teaching and she loved her students. Her constant love and correspondence with her former children always meant so much. She cherished all gifts and notes from her students and always remembered each story behind each one of them.
