She spent the earlier years of her life in Keystone and Kimball, WV as a devoted wife, mother and home maker to her husband, the late Millard Filmore Law, their 10 sons and to a host of other friends and school mates her sons brought home.

She was proud to have had 7 sons to honorably serve in the US Military; 4 Army, 2 Air Force and 1 Marine. She was a member of the Church of God in Christ Jesus, Jamaica NY.
