I was born in West Viriginia & grew up across the Ohio River in South Point, Ohio. I joined the Air Force in 1984, where I met my husband Terry. We were married in 1986, had a son, Erik, in 1988. We lived in South Dakota, California & after Terry’s retirement Columbus, Ohio. We moved to Mytrle Beach in 2019. Terry & Erik are now in heaven with Jesus. A few of my favorite scriptures are Proverbs 3: 5-6, Joshua 1:9, 1 Peter 5:7.
