After graduation from Phillips High, I attended Frank
Phillips College for one year, then married. I spent the next few years
taking college courses periodically and raising my three girls. I
obtained my BS in Psychology from the Univ. of Texas of Permian Basin in
1976 and began my career in teaching. I taught Kindergarten for 10 years.
I received my MA in Counseling from Adams State College in Alamosa, CO in
1988, which enabled me to expand my career, counseling in elementary
school and then on to middle school, which I loved! I have been married
to Alan Williams for 22 years now. How time flies!
I retired from education in 2005 and began a career
in Real Estate. I have since retired from real estate, and spend most of
my time visiting children, grandchildren, brothers and my Mother. I am
fortunate to be able to see everyone since we are somewhat spread out….but
am now contemplating a new business with a friend in Geriatric Care
Management.

I have 3 daughters and a step-son, all of whom I am
very proud! My oldest daughter, Kim, lives in Carrollton TX with her
husband Scott and children Carlie and Jackson. Kim is manager for Ann
Taylor Loft in Carrollton. Dava, my middle daughter, lives in Grand
Junction CO with her husband Orrin and daughters Afton and Chelsea. Dava
is comptroller and manager of Western Industrial Insulation. Her oldest
daughter Afton, is a senior at CSU and will finish next year and begin her
teaching career. Chelsea will be a senior in high school in the fall.
Kristi, my youngest, lives in Grand Junction with her daughter Kaitlin,
and works at Star Tek. Kaitlin graduated from high school recently and
plans to attend CU Boulder in the fall. I have a 15 year old grandson,
Benton, who lives in Twin Falls, Idaho. My step-son, Spencer, lives in
Portland, Oregon with his wife, Jessica. He is currently licensed to fly
helicopters, and is working on commercial and instructional licenses. He
has three children: Curtis, 12, Hannah, 9, and Austin, 5.
Alan and I purchased a travel trailer, an r-pod, and
are enjoying camping in the mountains of Colorado, and hope to venture
further in our travels in the coming year.
I hope to be able to attend our 50th reunion; it will
be great to see everyone!
