teaching and leadership. 
I live in Petersburg with my husband, Joe. 

My twin daughters both got married in 2010! Heidi married Russell Moore and 
they moved to Dallas. She teaches 4th grade and we will be pen pals with her 
class!
Maggie married Kris Cunningham and they live in St. Louis. She is a dental 
hygienist. They have a son born on January 1, 2012! His name is Liam David 
Cunningham and he is my first grandchild!He may be the cutest baby on this 
planet! Liam has a new baby brother, Andrew, born April 24, 2013! The
Cunninghams are moving to Springfield in June! Kris is joining a group of 
anesthesiologists and Maggie will work at Heartland Dental.
My son, Patrick, is a PE and drivers ed teacher at Astoria. He is the boys'

My mission is to motivate my students to enjoy learning and become life long 
learners.
