Chemical Company in Kingsport, TN, seven years in the
Congressional offices in Washington, D.C., of Representative

College with the horsemanship program.

Bristol, VA, where she was a member of the Hannah Sunday
School Class. She was also coordinator of the Bristol Food
Pantry for a number of years.
A few of her hobbies included participating in road races

most of all growing beautiful flowers.
