Additional Information
I am the wife of the love of my life and best friend. On this journey we have raised 4 children and have 6 grandchildren. We relocated to Dallas 20 years ago. We believe that God called us to DFW on a mission to improve the quality of lives of all those that we meet. Smiles for Life is a charity that we have supported for years. We provide financial resources for children's charities like St. Jude's hospital. I have a passion for serving women who have experience Domestic Violence through Give Back a Smile with AACD. There are other women's organizations that we contribute to as well Attitudes and Attire, Women's shelters, and our local church One Community, Plano. What makes my heart sing is unhurried time with my spouse of 28 years, my children, grandchildren and extended family. Travel, spas, group exercise and anything wellness is fun. I love puzzles, board games, entertaining, and making environments beautiful. I am on a never ending spiral of progress. There is no retirement planned in my future. The only things that change are my focus on how I will serve. There are so many more lives that I want to impact.
