She has written several books but only had one published-a children’s book about her little dog Baby, called Snowbird Weenie.
She was born to a poor family in Kentucky during the depression. Her father was twice her mothers age and he died leaving her with seven children. They survived by working their small farm and her oldest brother Elbridge quit school and got a job to support them.
She is a cancer survivor. In 1966 she had a malignant melanoma on her right leg that caused the amputated of her leg and hip. She had four children at that time and with God’s help she raised them and now has eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
She wants to encourage other cancer patients and amputees to trust God and keep praying and not give up hope.
She is a member of Southside Baptist Church in Lakeland, Florida. She spends the summer with her children in Hartland, Michigan and attends the Fellowship Bible Church.view less
