About Edith Vort Sloan

Edith Vortrefflich left Vienna, Austria in 1939, one semester short of her university graduation. Moving with her mother to Durham, NC, she used her mathematics training to get a job as an actuary in a local insurance company. Within a year, she moved to Greensboro, NC, where she joined Gate City Life Insurance company. After marrying Harry Sloan and giving birth to two boys, she was a stay-at-home housewife until her youngest son went to college. At that occasion she went back to school to finish a BA and MA in mathematics and to begin a career of teaching mathematics at the Univ. of NC at Greensboro.
