At the age of 19 years old, with a degree in English and Music, she began her first job in Brownsville, TX as a teacher. Although she had several successful jobs throughout her life, music and singing were her passion. She was a member of the of First United Methodist Church, where she was very involved in the choir, and performed numerous times as a soloist.

Jesus was number one in her life and He was the most important part of her life.

     She was quick to tell you her biggest, most precious accomplishment, in life was her daughter, Meredith, whom she loved with all her heart. She was never too tired nor too busy for her and is responsible for teaching her everything about God’s love for her.
