She was born on June 28, 1921, in Nashville, Tennessee, daughter of Dr. Andrew B. and Ethel Patton Jones. When she was a young child the family moved to St. Louis where her father practiced medicine and was head of the neurology department at Washington University for many years. She graduated from University City High School and was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Vanderbilt University. She and Donald D. Pemberton were married December 1, 1945, in Caruthersville.
She was a housewife, Girl Scout leader, and an avid bridge player.
