Shelby, NC

4th Year on Staff

Born and raised in Shelby…our three children as well. Our daughters were campers and then, along with our son, worked at camp from ages 13 to college! I am married to my best friend, Dicky, and we will celebrate 43 years on New Year’s Eve. We enjoy traveling. Our daughters live in Jackson, WY so we travel there the most these days! Our son and his family live in Greenwood, SC so we see them often! We have six grand children. Life is good!
