  • Family: “Mother of two wonderful guys, aunt to six nieces and nephews and four grandnieces. Two elderly parents and I knew all my grandparents and two great grandparents... family matters!”
  • What is a little-known fact about you? I am truly shy and uncomfortable in crowds.
  • When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up? A senator.
  • Who has most influenced your life? My father: he never was anything other than who he is... integrity. My mother: she never gave up on me or believing in me... steadfastness.
  • Favorite movie: Wizard of Oz.
  • Why are small groups important? Family. Many of us come from broken families and/or have broken dreams. One key gift of the church is restoration. In a small group, family can be recreated and restoration is then able to occur.
