I was born in Greensboro, NC. I met Mike and was married for 31 years. We moved to Sandpiper Bay in December 2020 and Mike passed away in September 2022. We had no children. I spent most of my career in mortgage banking and after retirement, I worked for our church as a bookkeeper. I’ve had several accomplishments: I served for the City of Greensboro, Commission on the Statue of Women, Board of Directors for Greensboro Historical Museum and NC Court Watch.I was president for Greensboro Lecture League, Wake Up Republican Women and Historical Museum Guild. I volunteered for Greensboro Historical Museum (docent and gift shop) and American Red Cross. I was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, United Daughters of the Confederacy, NC Society and Order of the Confederate Rose. I was recognized in the paper for my devoted service to the museum and community. My education consisted of the Foreign Study League (Italy & France), Ringling School of Art & Design and Massey-Draughn Business School.
