She began Abilene Christian University at the age of 16, where she received a bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics in 1950. Dovie taught school in Snyder until she married Franklin Brownfield on January 31, 1952. They lived a year in Lubbock and 15 years in Blackwell before moving to Colorado City in 1967.
