Her educational background included a bachelor's degree in political science from Occidental College, and a Master of Public Administration degree from California State University, Long Beach. While in college, she worked in Washington, D.C., as a Congressional intern. Prior to entering politics, she worked for Delta Air Lines as a flight scheduler for twelve years, and briefly as a flight attendant, based out of Las Vegas, Nevada, after 1988.
Following two short-lived marriages, both ending in divorce (one of which produced her daughter, Dallas), she married Delta Air Lines pilot Charles Augustine. They were married for 17 years until his death from complications of a stroke on August 19, 2003. She had three stepchildren from her marriage to Augustine. Shortly after Charles Augustine's death, she married William Charles "Chaz" Higgs on September 19, 2003, a critical care nurse who had been involved in Augustine's care.
