Biographical Info:
My hubby and I have been together for 44 years, married 38! He’s my soulmate. I grew up in Greenwood, Wisconsin, and lived together after we married in Marshfield and Madison. In 1993, we decide to leave Wisconsin and everything we knew and trek to Colorado with our 5 year old son. We lived in Colorado for 29 years, and have recently moved back to WI. Talk about a big adjustment! While in Colorado, I worked for the Garfield County Housing Authority working with homeless and low income families. I found that work to be very rewarding, helping the less fortunate in small and big ways!
I have an online business, and originally approached Judy about volunteering at the House of Mercy. She eventually mentioned to me she was retiring, so I thought from my past work that this opportunity would be rewarding to take on. I have big shoes to fill with Judy retiring. We have 1 son, with 2 biological grandchildren ages 9 and 11. (Please pray for them, he has been estranged from us for 18 years). We also have a bonus daughter and family. They call me BOMA for bonus grandma. The kids are 5,4,3, and 2 with baby 5 on the way!
I love just about everything outdoors from snowshoeing to hiking, biking and camping. My hubby is big into vintage snowmobiles (showing and racing them), up to 26 sleds now. I have acquired this love as well. My latest love is pickleball!
