Born on November 5, 1952, in Brooklyn, she was the daughter of James N. and Day (Bonynge) McBane. She was raised in Bronxville, where she graduated from high school in 1970. She moved to Durham in 1974 to attend the University of New Hampshire, where she received her MS and PhD in zoology.

She was a talented artist and her work focused primarily on pen and ink and sculpture.

She spent many summers at the family home in Lake George, NY, fishing, boating, and spending time with her family.
She had a lifelong love of and passion for animals. Throughout her life, her home was filled with creatures big and small. Her faithful canine companion, Kiwi, was a source of comfort until the end.
