Summary

Worked in the Many, Walmart for 22 years from sales associate to Support Manager. Retired for 6 years and decided to return to work. Working in every department was like an assistant manager for 7 of those 22 years. Missing the contact with the public was the main reason for returning. Some new customers now and welcomed some old ones back. Working with people is most rewarding.

Crafting and genealogy

I love to take odds and ends and make some beautiful.  Flower arrangement is something I do quite often as gifts for friends. On my genealogy I have traced my mom's family to the 1700's. On  my dad's family thru a DNA test I was contacted by twin cousins that I knew about but never in this world would have ever thought  I would get to meet them. they were given up at birth but were raised together and their names were changed. I have met them and their families. One lives in New Jersey and the other in North Carolina. It all is very exciting to find ancestors in all my families.
