While her Mother's side of the family was from St. Leon, Indiana (Stenger, Frye), she grew up on Eastern Ave (now Riverside Drive) along the river in Cincinnati. She lived above her uncle's saloon called Pharo's Cafe (aka The Blue Room). Her father, George Pharo was a bartender in the saloon and a bookie.
