She was the first pupil from Cassington to win a scholarship to Witney Grammar School, and following this her father bought her a piano, introducing her to a lifelong love of music.

After leaving school, she worked as a secretary in local government.

She joined the Civil Servants' Youth Club in Oxford and there met her first husband Ted Clifford. They married at St Peter's Church, Cassington, in 1954.

She was the co-organiser of the popular Cassington 'Cyclo', where young motorcyclists could display their skills safely.

She also worked at Trinity Plant Hire in Cassington, Lloyds Bank and for the Oxford University careers service.

She also learned to play an electronic organ, performing at many clubs and groups.

Her husband died suddenly in 1980. She married secondly Derek, who became her 'roadie'.

She also had a deep interest in local history and was a regular contributor to the Oxford Mail's Memory Lane pages.
