Born July 19, 1958 in Baton Rouge, La. Lived all my life on Jones Creek Road. Graduated from Woodlawn High School in 1976. Worked as a receptionist/secretary for 3 years, until I began a much more fulfilling job working in a sheltered workshop for mentally challenged adults. It is through a co-worker/friend that I met the future groom. I am now employed as an LPN in a local hospital near our hometown of Ferriday, La.
