She worked for Bilbo Drilling and Curley Williams, Inc, until she purchased Crossroads Movers, Inc in 1996 with the slogan “Owned and Operated by Women”. A few years later she and her daughter wanted something fun to do and through her passion, strength and dedication, she opened Foster Creek Station in 1999.
Through the years her many customers became friends. She was known for her warm heart, quick wit and a source of advice to many. Foster Creek Station became a shopping destination and a gathering place for great conversation.
Affectionately known as Grandmother, she was a great cook and famous for her politically incorrect Facebook posts, she loved fishing, reading books, traveling to Vegas for the NFR and to play the slots. Her big jewelry and stylish outfits went with her everywhere.
