I was born in metropolitan Akron, Ohio, moved to the woods of northern Minnesota at the age of 12. I met my husband at Minnesota Bible College in Minneapolis in 1950. We have been married sixty years. Willard's profession and life opened doors for me I never dreamed possible: preacher's wife, mother, church secretary, cook, organizational leader for many events, travel, public speaking, published writing and many other avenues as well. I have had a full and rich life. At 80 years of age I still feel compelled to add to life whatever blessing and guidance is helpful. I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for His blessings, directions, discipline and caring love.
