She graduated from Douglas High School in 1975 and enjoyed being a member of the dance team. Her favorite job was a local pizza restaurant where they ended the nights with dough ball fights. She loved eating Mexican at the Triangle, and she loved pestering her siblings. If you want hear a funny story, ask her sister about the roller skates in the closet. Soon after graduation, she moved to Gautier, MS where she set her sights on one of the largest employers on the coast.
