Born in Milwaukee, Hope always felt the lure of the West. With her husband, Tex, she spent her life promoting Western life. A talented musician and singer, Hope hosted a radio show and directed a working guest ranch. She related stories and songs of the West to thousands of children and adults, also teaching horsemanship to many. Hope and her family produced rodeos (co-produced 1955 GRA rodeo) and Wild West shows at their own arena.
