She was a third-generation Nevadan and was born in Ruby Valley, Nevada in 1918. Gene and her future husband Clifford moved from Reno where they both had attended the University of Nevada, Reno to Boulder City in 1940. After they came back from Panama in 1948 where Clifford had a photography assignment, she ran a child care center and wrote freelance articles about the Nevada landscape with her husband providing the photographs.
