I have been a council woman since 1994. In that time, I have been the Council Chair over the municipal services, the Police and Fire Dept., and Parks & Recreation. I also was the Library Liasion for 12 years.
I have lived in Idaho Falls for 45 years. My husband came here to work for Westinghouse NRF as an engineer, and he retired in 1997. We have 3 children raised in this community and 16 grandchildren, most of which live in another state.
I have been very active in the schools, my church, and in the communnity the entire time I have lived in Idaho Falls. Besides being a trustee for the Idaho Falls Public Library for 13 years, I have also served on the following boards:
- The United Way
- Development Workshop
- CASA
- The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho
- The Museum of Idaho
I am presently serving on the Art Museum and the Museum of Idaho baords, and I'm a CASA volunteer. I have worked with the Chamber of Commerce in various capacities and for many years on the parade committee, some of which as the Chair. I have also been a participant with the Christmas Festiveal since its beginning.
I think this is a great community and we have been fortunate to have been able to raise our children here. It has been a great honor to be an active participant in many of the events as well as the progress of the City of Idaho Falls as it has grown.
