She graduated from Tucson High School and attended and played softball at Pima Community College. She worked at the mine in San Manuel for 10 years. She then started working at the flower shops. Lettie thrived in this environment. Her love for flowers and plants came naturally. She especially loved working with the floral designers, which remained lifelong friends.

Her love of softball led her to start playing at a very young age. Lettie played well into her adult years and eventually gravitated to coaching.

She was an avid sports enthusiast. Lettie's favorite teams were the Arizona Wildcats and the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Lettie will be remembered for her kindness, resilience, dedication, her sense of humor and her love for her family and friends. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched.
