Born September 1, 1931, in Pantego, North Carolina, Mrs. Klepsig was the daughter of Dallas T. Carrowan, Sr. and Ethel Midyette Carrowan. She was proud of her roots growing up in North Carolina. Her father was a tobacco farmer, and her mother was from the Midyette (Midgette) family with ties to the North Carolina Coast Guard.

Mrs. Klepsig graduated from Bath High School in North Carolina and soon after moved to Macon, Georgia with her family. She received her bachelor’s degree in education from Mercer University.

Mrs. Klepsig had many careers and hobbies.
