She graduated from West Suburban Hospital School of Nursing and Wheaton College, where she met the man of her dreams, Jerry Slot. They were married on December 15, 1957, in New London, Wisconsin. As a Registered Nurse she worked at hospitals in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan and 16 years at Decatur St. Mary’s Hospital newborn nursery.
