She attended Chipley High School and Chipola Junior College and graduated from the University of West Florida with a degree in Elementary Education. She earned a degree in Art Education from Florida State University and certification in Exceptional Education. She taught many years at Kate M. Smith Elementary School in Chipley and retired in 2003.
Art and writing have always been special interests. She taught scores of children the art of creative writing. She has written copy for a local radio station; reported for an Alabama newspaper; has numerous short stories and poems; wrote a cake decorating manual; was published in the Best Poems and Poets of 2003; wrote and directed a children’s operetta, “It’s for the Birds!” in 2001.
She and her husband have one son and recently celebrated forty-eight years of marriage. She laughingly says, “I’m the only person I know who grew; got married; moved across the street and still lives there, forty-eight years later. I’ve traveled other places...but never had any desire to live anywhere else.”view less
