She was born April 20, 1935, in Michael, IL the daughter of Arthur and Arvella (Kimmis) Branham. She was formerly married to Leonard Cottingham and James Holland.

Many called her different names such as Grandma Bingo and Fritz (the nickname her father gave her). She had the sweetest soul and everyone that met her loved her and she loved them.
