Born in Houston, Texas, Stratton joined the Navy Nurse Corps in 1964 and attended school on a Navy Nurse Corps Candidate Scholarship. She graduated from Sacred Heart Dominican College in Houston, Texas with degrees in nursing and English.[1] Later she earned master's degrees in nursing from the University of Virginia[2] and in human resource management.[1]

Starting on active duty in 1966, Stratton served stateside as well as overseas in Japan, Ethiopia, Greece, and Italy. Her assignments included director of nursing services at Naval Hospital San Diego.[1]

She became Director of the Navy Nurse Corps in 1991, and was promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral (lower half). She served concurrently as deputy commander for Personnel Management, Naval Medical Command. In 1993, she published Nurse Corps Strategic Plan - Charting New Horizons.[1] As director, Stratton led the "Working Group on Prevention of Sexual Harassment for Women in the Navy and Marine Corps," and advocated before Congress for equal promotion opportunities for military women.[2]
