She was born in Philadelphia and died in Ormond Beach, Florida. She was the wife of Richmond Landon.

In 1920 she was eliminated in the first round of the 10 metre platform event, as part of the first U.S. woman's swimming team at the Olympics.

She appeared at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, leading the American athletes, and at age 94, carried the torch for a stint in Florida prior to the 1996 Atlanta games.[1]
