After graduation, I attended Northern Montana College for a year in the nursing program.  After college, I moved back to Libby and met my husband while working at the forest service.   

 I was married to Orville King on April 1, 1979 in Walla Walla, Washington and have enjoyed a wonderful marriage of 26 years.  We had our first child in 1980, a daughter Mandi, and were blessed to have Orville’s 5 year old son come and live with us in 1981.   Our son Josh was born in 1982 and we thought our family was complete.  We then had a wonderful surprise in 1995 with the birth of our last child, Isaac.  He keeps us young and on the ball and I am enjoying doing the school and sports things with him.

 We decided to make a move to Oregon in 1984 where we stayed for 17 years.  I have worked in several different jobs over the years including nurse’s aide, cook, teacher’s aide, plasma cutter at an aluminum boat factory, golf course maintenance, administrative assistant and presently am a stay at home Mom with my 10 year old son Isaac.  My husband works for Bureau of Land Management for the Alaska Fire Service in Fairbanks, Alaska.

 I have 2 granddaughters with another coming in July.  Am going to hopefully be there for her arrival the middle of July when Isaac and I will be traveling to Alaska.
