Born in Queens, New York, she earned a Master’s degree in education from New York University, graduating at the top of her class. In 1941 she married Frank Dostal, a man with a heart condition who might otherwise have gone off to war; they had two children. Stricken with polio when the second child was born in 1944, she eventually recovered but inspired by the experience designed a self-propelled vacuum cleaner to make it easier for handicapped people to clean, received a patent on it, and was written up in ''The New York Times''. The Hoover company then started marketing a very similar product as their "Hoover Dialamatic." She was preparing a lawsuit against them when stricken with cancer and she turned to [[cryonics]].<ref name="Cryonics p. 20" />

She had signed a contract which allocated $20,000 from her estate to CSNY.<ref name="Shoffstall p. 191" /> She legally died from cancer at the George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C. when she was 61 years old.<ref name="Shoffstall p. 191" /><ref name="Cryonics p. 20" /> She was [[Perfusion|perfused]]<ref name="Cryonics p. 20" /> and maintained in [[dry ice]] at CSNY's facility for nearly two years until November 1974, when her two children, by now unhappy with the cost and the emotional burden, had her buried.<ref name="Lessons" />
