I spent the first 16 years my life on the family farm north of DeBolt, attending Edson Trail and Ridgevalley Schools. We moved to Grande Prairie in 1968 where I attended grade 11 during the last year of the Grande Prairie High School. In 1970 I was in the first graduating class of the brand-new Composite High School.

After attending the GP College and then the U of A, I received my education degree in 1977.

I began teaching in Kindergarten at Avondale and then grade one. I spent my teaching career teaching Kindergarten through Grade 3 at Avondale, Hillside and Alexander Forbes, where I retired from in 2011.

After 34 years of teaching, I downsized my class size by becoming a nanny to our 4 granddaughters for 4 years. Jeff and Tanya added one more beautiful daughter. I retired again to just be a grandma.

Retirement has been wonderful. More time for family and friends, as well as time to slow down and enjoy life.

We have enjoyed some amazing trips since retiring.

• 2 cruises through the Caribbean
• A couple trips to Mexico
• A cruise through the Panama Canal
• Bus trip around China and cruise on the Yahtzee River
• Bus tour of Ireland and visited relatives
• Visited relatives in England
• Nagel Bus tour of eastern Canada

Our passion now is Pickleball. Many days each week you will find us on the courts bright and early in the morning. I enjoy walking, doing qigong, tai chi and essentrics.

 

I have enjoyed being a NWARTA Director, meeting so many wonderful people.
