I graduated from Ashley High School in 1963.  In 1967 my twin, Cathy(we also have a little sister, Christy) and I graduated from Mars Hill College(University) with a degree in elementary education. I went on to receive my Master’s Degree in 1971 from Appalachian State University. In November of 1971, I married my most wonderful husband, Michael!  I taught for 31 years,  mostly 5th grade, and knew that God called me to do this!  I loved teaching!  Mike and I have 2 beautiful daughters, Holly and Megan...1 wonderful son-in-law, Robert...and 2 precious grandchildren,Maddy and Lindsay! I have been a church musician since I was 12 years old with several years off as we moved with Mike’s job with the FAA!  I know also that God called me to be a church musician and I am so thankful He still gives me the gifts to serve Him!
