How did your love story begin?

A blind date when I was a senior in high school. Actually it really began when I was 9 years old and a fortune teller told me I would meet a tall dark handsome man from a foreign country and fall in love with him. Waldy was born in Germany. He kissed me for the first time on our 5th date and 5 weeks after that we were engaged. And 7 months later we were married. Lasted for 39+ years when the good LORD decided HE needed him more than me.!! Our relationship produced 4 wonderful children.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Taking trips with our kids. We both loved camping and started them out when our oldest was less than a year old. Each one was an infant when we started them camping and we loved every thing about it? Waldy was a wonderful father who adored our 4 kids. And they in turn each loved their Dad. We all talk about him even 20+ years later!

What would you do with $20,000?

Pay some bills and visit my best friend whom I haven’t seen in way too many years and go see my other 2 boys in Montana.
