She was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, Kenneth Howett, her parents, Guy and Elinor Hess, three siblings, Carl Hess, Donald Hess and Dorothy Lewis, and one granddaughter, Maddie Smock.

She graduated from West Chester State Teachers College in 1959 with a degree in physical education. She married her high school sweetheart, Ken Howett, that same year.
