She was born the daughter of the late Thomas Jefferson Hamby and Ruby Williams Hamby on March 3, 1944. In her professional life she worked for Empire Manufacturing for 35 years.

She was an avid Duke Basketball fan, and was always faithful in supporting her children in sports and never missed a game. In her retirement she was a caregiver to a number of Rabun County residents, when she and her favorite Aunt Ruth Barnes were not out on an adventure. She would always say that she was blessed with wonderful neighbors. She was a Christian and attended the Clayton Baptist Church.
