She attended and graduated from Olathe North High School, and was a member of First Christian Church in Olathe, Kansas. She was also an avid member of the “Hallmark Keepsake Keepers”.
Her love for country music gave her the opportunity to photograph country artists such as, Gary Morris, Ronnie Milsap, and Shenandoah just to name a few. And to become acquainted with them by going on the road to see them at several places such as, Washington DC, Broadway, and little country towns. She became Doug Supernaw’s “Fan Club President” for a few years. She was a country girl at heart.
Nothing gave her more pleasure than watching the Kansas City Royals and the “Super Bowl Champions” Kansas City Chiefs. She worked at Sprint after graduation and then later for the Olathe School District as a Paraprofessional in Special Education. Her love for children gave her the pleasure of working along side her mother, Margo with their Day Care business, M&M Children’s Day Care in Olathe, Kansas.
