I am a simple woman with strong faith. I strive to be kind to everyone. I am dedicated to my family, and I am passionate about making a difference in the community; I volunteer my time and give back whenever possible. Meeting people and learning their stories brings me joy. I work hard and cherish every moment spent with family and friends. I enjoy entertaining; my house has a revolving door and is the place for hanging out, parties and celebrations. My greatest treasure is my family. I love spending time with my adult children, and I adore playtime with my granddaughter. I take pleasure in being outdoors and being active. I like walking, biking, hiking and canoeing. I love sports and especially love supporting and watching my nieces and nephews play. I find peace being on or around the water and when I make time to relax, I love to curl up with a good book.
