At an early age her family moved to Pambrum and she attended school at Notre Dame Convent, Swift Current Convent and Whiska Creek School. She married Albert Picray in 1940 and they lived on the paternal family farm until 1954, when they moved to town to have easier access to educational facilities for their growing family.
