I was born and raised in Port Arthur, Texas.  My accompanist interests started when I was a young teen, playing for adult Sunday School classes, children, youth, adult, and senior adult choirs, and elementary school, middle school and high school choirs.  I “retired” in 2005 after 20 years as church organist at First Baptist Church, Nederland, Texas.  Shortly after, I played the piano as needed in local churches in the Nederland area.  I was employed by Nederland Independent School District from 1987-2009 as an educational aide.  Upon retiring, Perry and I moved to Sun City in July, 2009.  I have been The Worship Place Sun City Campus pianist/accompanist since June 2010.  We have 2 married daughters, 3 granddaughters and 2 grandsons living in Nederland. 

I thank God for the talents He has given me to use for His glory.  I appreciate the support I had from my parents to stick with piano lessons and daily practicing.
