She was born on July 4, 1962, to John and Jeanice (Crumb) Downhour in Faribault Minn. She graduated from Karlstad High School in 1980, and attended Thief River Falls Vo-Tech where she received her certificate in cosmetology in 1982. That same year, she moved to Glasgow where she married Ray Greenough, and the couple was blessed with two sons. They later divorced, and she relocated to Havre with her boys. A few years later, she gave birth to a daughter. After several years, she married Pete Cremer, and they had one son. They too later divorced.

She worked at Buttrey's, first in Glasgow, then Havre, for over 15 years. After leaving Buttrey's, she began working at Walmart, where she remained until her death.

She loved to fish, camp, and float the Milk River. She enjoyed scrapbooking and rocking out to 80's music. Time with her family was incredibly special to her, and she absolutely treasured her grandchildren, especially her grandson, Adriel Greenough, whom she raised.

She was a true animal lover, who adored all of her various pets. She was especially proud of being 14 years clean, and was an active member of NA, helping reach out to as many people as she could. Her favorite holiday was July 4th (her birthday), and she loved all things red, white and blue.
