Family

My husband and I have been married 31 years and are the proud parents of 4 children. Our oldest daughter helps to coordinate Walmart's national Live Better U campaign while living in Bentonville, AR. Our youngest daughter and husband live in Hendersonville, NC where she teaches math at West Henderson High, AB Tech and CVCC.  Our oldest son is a 10th grader at Maiden High and our youngest son is an 8th grader at Maiden Middle.  I am active in my church fellowship and during any "spare" time, I follow the boys' athletic activities.
