She graduated from Lampasas High School in May of 1951.  She was married to Gladden Corbin on August 17, 1951.  Shortly after her wedding, she joined the garden club to connect with the townspeople and make friends.  She stayed at home with Matt, Clark, and Anneta.  Once the kids were in school, she began working.

She started working part-time as a Secretary/Clerk for the Justice of the Peace.  After 10 years with Lampasas County, she began working full-time for a Home Health Agency to promote and establish the first Home Healthcare services in Lampasas.  In 1976, she began work with Hill Country Community Action Association to assist in forming a Community Service Center.  She became the Director of the Senior Citizens Center.  During her 19 years at the Senior Center, she earned her Texas State License and Baccalaureate of Social Work.  In 1995, she decided to retire.  That lasted a whole 2 years before she began teaching parenting classes and working with the RSVP Program to recruit and provide recognition for Senior Volunteers.  She decided in 2000 to retire (for real this time) to spend more time with her family and painting.  She taught several art classes during her lifetime as well.  She was a lifelong member of the Church of Christ and met with her Christian family at the First Street Church of Christ.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband.  Survivors include her siblings, Donald A. Machen (Charlotte), and James M. Machen; her children, Madison (Beth), Clark (Carmen), and Anneta (Ralph); her grandchildren, Grant Corbin (Tabitha), Kelly Morton (Stephen) and Selena Bailey (Bob); her great-grandchildren, Violet and Elyse Corbin, Cason and Asher Morton and Rhys and Honor Bailey.
