Born in Worcester, daughter of the late Bernard and Lois (Kimmens) Subolosky, she graduated from Auburn High School, and earned a teaching degree from the former Boston State College.

She had also been a teacher in Holden and Shrewsbury. She was a member of Saint Mary's Church in Shrewsbury and the Mass Teachers Association. She found great pleasure spending time at her home on Martha's Vineyard, where she would wake early to enjoy her sunrise beach walks. She also enjoyed searching for beach glass and reading.
