Mickey was born on March 6, 1925 in Lilly, PA. She moved with her parents and family from Pennsylvania to El Paso, TX and then to Wink, TX. She graduated from Wink High School in 1943. She was working as a telephone operator at the Rattlesnake Air Base in Pyote, TX where she met James Williams who was in the Army Air Force during WWII. They married on July 29th, 1945 and lived in Pratt, KS, before relocating to Inglewood, CA in 1947. While in California, they had two children, Patricia and James.

On a vacation in 1954, Mickey and Jim visited New Mexico and discovered a nice apple farm for sale in Bent, NM. They purchased the farm and moved their family from California. They had two additional children Linda and Danny. Mickey managed the farm and sold apples while raising four children. Mickey and Jim retired to Alamogordo in 1996.
