In January 2026 I celebrated my 34th year of service as staff of St. Mark UMC.  I have 2 daughters and 2 grandchildren.  In addition to our family, we also have 2 dogs, 1 cats, 2 horses, and fish.  Some of my hobbies include and exceed gardening, sewing, cooking, crafts, mosaics, painting, light construction, etc. etc. etc.

I have lived in McAllen area for 10 years.  My family moved here after my husband retired from the US Navy.  He served for 11 years. We have been married since April 2005 and have three beautiful daughters; Ivy (15), Melody (13) and Kayleigh (9)! We love to travel and go camping. I have been working at St. Mark since February 2019 as a preschool teacher and in June 2021 in the church office. I enjoy time with family and friends and being crafty in my free time.
