Born in England in 1904, daughter of James Mudge (1877-?) and Florence Evelyn Mudge (c1877-?), she accompanied her parents to Canada in 1908. By 1916, the family had taken up residence in Township 11 Range 4 East of the Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie, within the district of the Kawende [Oakville] Post Office, and her father served in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, first stationed at Camp Hughes.
In 1918, she passed grade 9 at Portage la Prairie, overseen by School Inspector Thomas Martin Maguire. She earned a BSc degree (1932) from the University of Manitoba then became a teacher, serving as the Principal of Miami School (1925-1926), Garson School (1927-1930), and Warren School (1933-1934). Around 1936, she was living at Dauphin.
On 30 July 1938, she married civil engineer and Transcona resident Llewellyn Edward “Ted” Jones (1910-1999, son of William Jones) at St. Lukes Church in Oakville. The newlyweds took a road trip to Toronto, Ontario where they took up residence. Two sons were born at Toronto, Ontario, including James Llewellyn “Jimmy” Jones (1942-2023).
She died in 1994 and was buried in the Saint George's Church-on-the-Hill Cemetery at Etobicoke, Ontario.
