Personal Bio

I grew up in Longview and have made White Oak my home for the last 36 years. My husband and I have 4 children, all of whom are adults. We have 10 grands, raging in ages from 3 months to 26, but we spend the most time with our soon to be 10 year old grandson, as he lives in the DFW area. I enjoy playing video games with him and we play online almost every night.

I've been a Christian for over 60 years and have worked in many different departments of my church over the years. I was saved when I was six years old. I remember that day and thinking that adults would think I was too young to know what I was doing. But I did!!
