My Story:

 was born an raised in Richmond. I’ve been married 35 years and have 4 children, 2 grandchildren, and a Great Pyrenees dog child. I have served in youth ministry, led a women’s Bible study for 29 years, served in Worship ministry, and fine arts ministry at a local church before coming to River of Life. I’ve spoken at events, written many songs, and produced 2 albums. I love exploring art. “I danced with the Lord” much of my life, sometimes getting close, and other times running away. At the age of 30,I fell in love with Jesus, and have pursued Him ever since.

Life Verse: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
