I was born and raised in Fort Dodge, Iowa. I am married to Gene, my husband of 30+ years and we have 4 grown children and 6 grandchildren. In 1976, living in a small, rural farming community, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. The years since then have been filled with serving the Lord in whatever capacity He had for me at the time, be it wife, mother, foster parent, you name it. God has given me great joy over the years as I have sought His will.
We moved to Appleton in 1987, and in 2000 we began attending Calvary Chapel. It has been an enormous blessing to be part of such a well-fed "flock." It's what my heart had been yearning for over the years. I praise God daily for the opportunity to be involved 2 days a week in the office, and serving where I can in other various ministries.
