A former first lady of Fountain Hills, she
is another tireless volunteer. She has been a major supporter of the arts
in Fountain Hills. She was the founder and first president of the Fountain
Hills Arts Council (now known as the Fountan Hills Cultural & Civic
Association).
Her efforts led to the annual Choir Camp sponsored
by the Cultural Council. She has also served on
the boards of the Civic Association, Community Theater, Senior Services,
Sister Cities Committee and Noon Kiwanis Club (past President) and the
Boys and Girls Club Advisory Board of Fountain Hills. She is a member
of the Community Center Advisory Committee.
She was one of the Visitation Committee
members who traveled to Kasterlee, Belgium in 1998. The trip paved the
way to having the two communities become Sister Cities.
She was the driving force behind the holiday lighting
program. The annual poinsettia tree display was another of her creations.
She brought the idea for the brightly painted trash barrels around Fountain
Park from a trip to South Africa. The originator of the In-Home Concert
series, she and husband Jerry have hosted many of these concerts.
She is also an elder with the
Fountain Hills Presbyterian Church. A talented performer, she has played
the violin at many community events and sings in the church choir.
