I was born in Beardstown, IL and grew up in Springfield, IL. I later lived in Nemo, SD & Rapid City, SD for some time until moving to the Denver, CO area.

I have 4 beautiful children, four grandchildren and an amazing husband who make no complaints about the time I spend documenting our histories.
