Accomplishments

I accomplished 20 years with Oconee Memorial Hospital. During that time, I mentored and was preceptor to numerous students and new nurses for the 6th Surgical Specialty floor. With several working within the Prisma Healthcare system today.

Reading, church choir, wreath making, spending time with my grandsons and family.

My grandsons are Grayson, 8 and Jaxan, 19 months with a  new expectancy on the way next year. 

I have always loved being a part of a choir since my High School days in chorus. My church choir meets each Tuesday night to practice, it is close to my heart to be apart of a group that honors our Lord in music and song.

Reading has always been a favorite, I enjoy clean romantic novels and am now reading books to study scripture and learn more of the Hebrew meaning of the scriptures and modern day application of scripture.

I began wreath making with my husband before he became so sick. Then after he died, I started on my own making them to help with extra income and fill my time with something I enjoy.

Jigsaw puzzles are a favorite also, I don't have as much time with my grandsons, but I fit a few in occasionally.
