I grew up in Iowa, and my husband, Ed, in Mississippi. We were married in 1970, and moved to Ankeny in 2014. We have four children and 13 grandchildren, and as a family we love to camp, hike and generally do outdoor activities. 

I surrendered my life to Christ when I was 23, and have walked with Him and depended on Him all these years. I’ve been on staff since 2015 and serve as Pastor Todd’s Administrative Assistant. I love working on this team and serving the people of First Family! Ed is an elder and serves the church as one of the pastors.
