Kyle and I have been married for 36 years and live in Cedarburg Township.  We have 5 daughters, one son, 5 sons-in-law, one future-daughter-in-law, and 12 grandchildren with one on the way.

I was blessed to grow up in a Christian family.  We moved all over with the Air Force, but we always attended Bible-believing churches.  My mom helped me confess my faith in Jesus when I asked her at age 5, and I was baptized at age 11.  Intervarsity Christian Fellowship was also instrumental in my growth during college.

Kyle and I met at the University of Illinois, dated 3.5 years, and were married right after graduation.  He was commissioned in the Navy, so we spent the next 5 years moving 7 times.  We landed in Cedarburg with our first two little girls, aged 2 and almost 4, and we’ve been here ever since.  We started attending Alliance right away, and we have been blessed by many ministries within the church and community.  I’m excited that I have been given the opportunity to serve as a deaconess.

I enjoy a variety of hobbies, especially with our family and friends.  These include hiking, game nights, reading, arts and crafts, and our pets.
