I was born and raised in Pawnee, attended and graduated from the Pawnee Schools.  I married my husband, Randy, on January 2, 1976.  Our family includes a daughter, Misty, her husband, Nate and their sons, Carter, Browning, and Cannon.  Son, Zach, his wife Lynn, and grandson, Zeke.  I have also been blessed by 3 sons - by love- that joined our family as young teenagers.  Dustin, his daughter, Destiny, and his son, Kayson.  Justin, Kim and their children, Kyler, Kinley, and Keiton and Cody and son, Brayden.

My husband and I, along with another couple, owned and operated Spears Furniture in Pawnee for 30+ years.

I enjoy spending time with family, outdoor activities, and cheering on the OSU Cowboys.
