Born overseas, presumably in Europe, in January 1876, she immigrated to Canada in 1893, eventually settling at Brandon where she taught (1905-1909) and was Principal (1909-1922) of Park School. Following the Brandon Ultimatum, her employment contract was terminated by the Brandon School District. She moved to Winnipeg where she worked as a teacher (1923-1925) and Principal (1925-1937) of Bannatyne School. She received the King George V Silver Jubilee Medal (1935), Order of the British Empire (?), and was made a Life Member of the Manitoba Education Association (1938).
On 19 January 1939, she married William Mason, Mayor of Nokomis, Saskatchewan at Edmonton, Alberta. The couple later lived at Nokomis. Her whereabouts after this are unknown.
