I have been married to Dean for 33 years . We are blessed with 3 daughters, two son-in-law's and six grandchildren. Plus, our door has been open to many children over the years. After the grandchildren, we adopted our youngest daughter who is now 8 years old. 


 

When not teaching:

I love spending time with family. Having cookouts is our favorite time together. For me shopping is a stress reliever and for my hubby it’s hunting. Soon, we will be watching our youngest cheer at football games. 
We also love being a part of our church family at Living Word Assembly.
