She married Jeff Strieker of Breese on Nov. 19, 1994, at St. Bernard Catholic Church in Albers, and he survives in Breese. Her husband was a former superintendent for the Litchfield School District.

She graduated from Belleville East High School in 1988 and earned her B.S. degree in speech communications and business administration from McKendree College in 1992.
