Avis was a graduate of Montrose High School.  In her early adulthood she spent several years working in Mankato, Las Vegas and Dallas but ultimately she returned home to Mankato to invest back into the community that she loved.  She opened her restaurant,The Red Rooster, around 32 years ago and worked very hard there.  She enjoyed her customers, who over the years, became family to her.  She also loved cooking, Karaoke nights and her collections.

She had a heart of gold and would give anyone anything. Her passions were her flowers, her dog, going to garage sales, thrift stores and pawn shops.  Watching Jeopardy every day was a favorite of hers.
