Married to Dennis since June 11, 1994. We met through his mom who worked with me at Mt. Pleasant High School and picked me out “just for him.”

Three children – Patrick lives in Rockwell and works with his uncle at Ike’s Construction Inc. He is very active at New Wine Baptist where he is a part of the worship team and also recently began sharing God’s Word through preaching.

​

Joshua and Alyssa are twins and are active at Grace Church. Joshua also works with his uncle at Ike’s Construction Inc., and Alyssa is a graduate from UNCC and working as an Elementary Teacher and a Dance Teacher.
