I have been a teacher at Bethany Busy Bee since 1983, and I am group leader certified by CDHS.  I teach the 2 1/2 – 3-year-old class.  My husband is a car salesman with AutoNation Park Meadows, and we have been married for 50 years.  We have five children.  Jeremy is married to Kelly, and they have Addison, age 5. They live in Seattle.  Jennifer is married to Patrick and they have two children, Emily, age 11 and Sean, age 6.  They live in Castle Pines.  Jonathan is an auto technician with John Elway. He is married to Laura, and they have two kids, Maddison, age 9, and JJ, age 8. They live in Highlands Ranch.  James, works for Arista Networks, and is living in Albuquerque with Jenna.  Jessica is an accountant, and she is married to Mason, who is an Adams County Sheriff. They have Jack, age 1, and a little girl arriving in October, 2024.  They live in Erie.  Our family has welcomed over 30 foreign students into our home, who have come for three or four months or a year or more, so the house has been full of kids, challenges, excitement, food, fun & foreign languages.  This year, we have Anna from Ukraine coming for the year! I have had the privilege to serve on many mission trips, here in the USA as well as in the Czech Republic, Thailand and Mexico, India and Africa.  I enjoy gardening, sewing, scrap booking, doing crafts and hanging out with young people.
