I attended USD for Dental Hygiene, and worked in that field for 38 + years in Sioux Falls, Minneapolis, MN, then back to Sioux Falls again. I had worked maternity leaves and substituted since moving to Nebraska in 2013, but recently gave up my license, so am totally retired now.
I was blessed to have met and married Randy in 1978. We have four daughters. Rachael and her husband, Mike Wilmeth live in Omaha, just 45 minutes from us, and have two children, Maya, 11, and Jaxton, 8. Emily is married to Steven Earnest, and is Mom to two boys, Jayden, 11, and Brecken, 8. They live in Hickman, NE, 1/2 hr from us. Sarah met Alex Orantes in Okinawa Japan. He brought two children to their marriage, Daniel, 14, and Abby, 11. The following year, they were blessed with twin girls, Lina and Liza, (now 8) and added another daughter, Neila, (6 yrs) 2 years later. They reside in St Louis, MO. Our baby girl, Melissa, lives in Sioux Falls.
We enjoy spending time with our kids and grandkids, and this is our second year making memories with them at Big Lake, MO. Randy and I try to enjoy a few weeks of warm weather down south in the winter. Life is good, and we are blessed!
I am hoping you will join us for our 51 year reunion. Life happens, and we understand if it's impossible to attend. You will be missed, if that is the case. I do know you will not regret it if you can join us. I look forward to seeing your smiling faces soon!
