She was the daughter of the late Gwen and Ivor Owen, born on December 18, 1926 in Maesteg, Wales.   She crossed the Atlantic to America with her family on the Aquitania when she was two years old.  She grew up in New Philadelphia, PA with her two older brothers and two younger sisters. She graduated from Blythe Township High School, Class of 1944.  In 1950, she married the late Morton G. Stoudt.  They lived and raised their family in Pottsville, Reading and Spring Township.  She was a talented hair stylist during her working years.
