She was born in Aniston, Missouri on February 5, 1953, to parents Bill and Sudie Whybark. She spent her childhood in southern Illinois and moved to Kentucky as a teenager. She married the love of her life Eddie Washam on July 16, 1971. She dedicated her life to caring for her family and her animals. She loved a good story, laughter, flowers, movies, and holidays.
