Born in Indianola, Iowa, she was the daughter of James Lytle Browne and his wife, the former Harriet Lindsay.
She attended Simpson College before transferring to study voice at Drake University.[1]
She married Henry Agard Wallace in Des Moines, Iowa, on May 20, 1914.[2] They had three children: Henry Browne Wallace (1915–2005), Robert Browne Wallace (1918–2002), and Jean Browne Wallace (1920–2011).[1] Her husband later became the editor-in-chief of Wallace's Farmer, an influential Midwestern farming magazine that had been founded by his father, Henry Cantwell Wallace, who was the United States secretary of agriculture from 1921 to 1924.
A small inheritance she received from her parents enabled the Wallaces and their business partners to establish, in 1926, the Hi-Bred Corn Company,[3][4] which developed and distributed hybrid corn and eventually transformed agriculture.
On February 22, 1981, aged 92, she died at the Wallace estate, Farvue Farm,[5] in South Salem, New York. Her funeral was private at her family's request.[1]
