Where Are You From

I grew up in a very small town, population 150 including cats and dogs, in Fulton County Illinois—Marietta. We had a post office and a gas station, and we came in at night when the streetlights came on, and everybody knew everybody in town.

Insurance Background

After working with Lori on a committee to organize a community event with the Chamber of Commerce, she asked me if I would be interested in a career change; that was in 2007 and I have been here since that time.

Family

Most people call me “Momma J”; we were only ever to claim two dependents on our income tax. My husband and I just celebrated our 46 th wedding anniversary. We have two adult children: our daughter and her family live in central Iowa while our son and his family live in northwest Indiana. Our family prefers states that begin with the letter I. We have a total of 5 grandchildren including a set of twins.

Hobbies

Paper crafting! Cardmaking and scrapbooking are my hobbies. I am passionate about archiving memories for generations to come. Each Christmas you will find a scrapbook under the tree created to preserve the memories of the past year, a special trip or a long-awaited event. On a good year there will be more than one, but regardless of the name on the package, the best part is watching everyone relive those memories through the pages I have created.

Interests

When most people think of our family they think of one thing—University of Illinois Sports. We just finished our 47th year of football season tickets, my husband has not missed a home game during that time. We also hold season tickets for Fighting Illinois men’s and women’s basketball. Our family rule is, “No weddings, babies, or funerals during from the end of August through the middle of April”, because we won’t miss a home game for those events. Dave and I have spent many years serving on the Illinios Quarterback Club Board of Directors, currently I serve as ILQBC president. Our family is orange and blue through and through!

Random Fact About You That Most People Don’t Know

Long story made short: for 8 years I was the head scout for a central Illinois high school football team. One Friday night while the team was on the field, I was in the bleachers of the next week’s opponent, diagramming their offensive plays from scrimmage (including blocking assignments) and noting each of their defensive tendencies and their defensive sets.

Your Favorite Place to Vacation OR somewhere You Have Always Dreamed of Going

I may live in Illinois, but I am a WDW Annual Passholder and a Disney Vacation Club member. I visit WDW an average of four times a year. Obviously, it is my favorite place to escape to. However, Dave and love to travel with Germany being our favorite country to visit.
