Interesting fact about you? I love spending time with my family and being a Nonnie to my two-year-old grandson Jimmy and three week old granddaughter Elsie. I enjoy volunteering at Shepherd’s Corner where I started “Beyond the Shepherd” as an outreach to get clothes to all schools in Harrison County. Recently was fortunate to receive a grant from Sacred Heart Children’s Charities for $1500.00 to purchase new underwear and socks for the kids. I also do anything I can to support Young Life in Harrison County,
