I started working for Southern
Bell in Valdosta. I worked for five years there then I was transferred to Macon, Georgia
where I worked for another five years. Then, again I was moved to Atlanta Georgia.
I worked there five years. At that point I was tired of moving. I met my husband who is from
Birmingham, Alabama. I put in a transfer this time for myself. I moved to Birmingham. I married my husband.
We have both retired and we do a lot of traveling. We own
a home in Birmingham. We are both very active in the church. As a matter of fact I was
the church secretary for 13years. I resigned in January of 2009. We
have several trips planned
for this year. I lost my mother
in March of 08 and I have not been back to Valdosta since.
I am praying for strength to come back there for a visit. Together my husband and
I have 7 children. I have lost track of how many grand kids we have. This is where I am
until the master calls my name.
