PASSIONS FOR THE KINGDOM

I started watching children in a church nursery back in 1986. I took a year off in 1997 because we had moved farther away from the church for which I was working.  In 1998 I saw an ad requesting help for the nursery here at MapleRidge and I felt like God was calling me back to serve families once again. I have been at MapleRidge since that time. I have always loved children and I feel that this is a calling for me. I love to be with the children and the excitement when they talk about Jesus — even when they are so young.

FAVORITE BIBLE VERSE

Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

HOBBIES

Being with my grandchildren, movies, music, relaxing.
