Langworthy attended the University of Kansas. Before her time in the Kansas Senate, Langworthy was elected as a city council member. In the Senate, Langworthy defeated and replaced longtime Kansas Senator Norman Gaar, who had been in the chamber since 1965. She self-identified as a moderate Republican, and unlike more conservative members of her party she took a pro-choice stance on abortion, which was a hotly contested issue in Kansas during her time in the Senate. She declined to run for re-election in 2000.
