| Info | My family has lived in Northwest Georgia for over 100 years.
Huskey-Plemons/Norton-Thomas families of Catoosa County;
Jones-Gregory/Anderson-Shaw families of Walker County.
They were the settlers who cut farms out of the mountain wilderness;
railroad men and miners; craftsmen, sharecroppers, mill workers, and moonshiners;
women who raised a dozen children without electricity or indoor plumbing
and often worked in the fields or factories along with the men:
All of them doing what they had to do in order to survive and provide for their families.
I am deeply proud of my Southern heritage.
I and our children attended Georgia Public Schools
Born in Chattanooga, 1953, I attended elementary school there but moved to Georgia in 1966 when my mother remarried. I was an Honors Graduate of Atlanta Public Schools and on the
Dean's List at Augusta College. (I moved back to this area in 1986.)
Our older children have been students at Battlefield and Cloud Springs Elementary Schools, Lakeview and Rossville Middle Schools, LFO and Ridgeland High Schools.
I am very aware of the progress and problems of our public education system and desire to see real solutions implemented for all our children's sake.
We are regular working folks, trying to make ends meet in this economy.
When I wasn't a full-time mother and homemaker, my work experience has included apartment complex management, industrial office management, behavioral counseling, domestics, and freelance computer design.
My husband, Rick, was an OTR truck driver for many years, has worked in manufacturing and warehousing, now works in the Print Shop at Olan Mills in Chattanooga.
Issues affecting employment security for the people in our District are a vital concern.
Men in my family have a proud record of Military Service.
My husband and brothers all served in the US Army;
My step-dad and father-in-law both retired from the US Navy;
My father and all our uncles served in World War II;
We can document my husband's ancestors service in the Confederate Army during the Civil War.
Matters affecting the active military, veterans and their families are a major concern to me.
I have been community-oriented throughout my adult life.
Registered and active VOTER since my 18th birthday (1971).
Certified instructor with the American Red Cross for many years (CPR and First Aid).
Trained as a Civil Defense Coordinator before there was anything like "Homeland Security".
Active in groups that help victims of substance abuse and their families, holding service positions at local, district and state levels.
Active in environmental groups monitoring the USFS revisions of plans for uses of our Southeastern forest resources.
Certified in the Backyard Habitat program of National Wildlife Federation.
Active community volunteer many years for March of Dimes.

Family Information
From 1986 until 1990 I lived in the Boynton area of Catoosa County with my two older sons. Married in 1991, Rick and I later moved into the home once owned by my grandparents in Rossville, where we continue to live. Rick's two sons and daughter also lived with us throughout their teen years. We have three grandchildren.
Our youngest daughter, Abbie, was born in 2000.
