In my spare time, I enjoy hiking with my husband Phil and four kids, reading, cooking, quilting, and a good cup of coffee and conversation with friends.

In the Nursery, it is our mission to be a safe place for the young mother, respite for the foster parent, loving arms for all babies, and a ministry to all.

I serve as preschool coordinator at Valley Life. It is such a blessing to be part of the little ones’ lives and to see them grow both physically and spiritually.
My husband Jack and I have been part of this family since its beginning. We have been married 47 years, have 2 daughters, and 5 grandkids. Together we work on our ranch raising beef cattle.
