I was born and raised in Wisconsin.  My husband Bill and I married in 1969 and I spent the next 26 years as an Air Force wife and mother.  We are blessed with 3 children and 9 grandchildren.  We have lived throughout the United States and spent 7 years overseas in Italy and Germany. 

After retirement from the Air Force, we lived in Wisconsin where I had a floral design business.  Our desire was to live in Colorado and 10 years ago it became a reality.  We built our home in the area and love the peace and quiet of the mountains. 

I worked for the City of Cripple Creek as Marketing and Events Coordinator for 7 years, and currently serve as a client advocate at Choices.  We are active in the Cripple Creek Baptist Church where our heart is to serve there and our community.  I enjoy bible study, crafting, hiking, fishing, traveling, and spending time with my family.
