I am here for Friends

About Me


I was born in Chicago, IL and grew up in the suburbs. In college I met the man of my dreams and married him 2 years later. 35 years later he is still the love of my life.


We were blessed with 3 beautiful daughters - Kristen, Bethany and Amber, and I thought my life was complete. Then along came the other men in my life - Brent, Grant and Greg are my sons-in-love. But God had even more blessings in store for me. I am grandma to Keaton age 5, Brielle age 4, Sarenna age 2 and the newest addition, Talan just born. Spoiling was never so much fun!

As I followed Denny around the country, we had the privlege of working in many churches. I have "children" all over the US. I thoroughly enjoy working with teens and college kids. I have worked at Camp Awana all my life. I spend most of my time on Facebook, so catch me there.
