My Spouse
Greg and I met in band in about 6th grade. We dated in high school and got together again after he finished college. Most of you probably know him..Greg Olmstead, class of 1977.
My Kids
Our daughter Kari just turned 23 in June 2007. She is engaged to be married November 3, 2007 to Jim Manker from Chambersburg, IL. He is really a nice guy and we both just love him. Our son Justin will be 19 in August 2007. He just graduated from Carrollton High School and will be starting Lewis & Clark Community College in the fall. He will be studying either physical or occupational therapy. Kari is a dental assistant and works at SIUE School of Dental Medicine in Alton.
I have been "retired" by Greg. He works a lot and likes for me to be home and I love being here for him when he gets here.He is a Registered Pharmacist at Wal Mart in Jerseyville. I miss my patients and nursing work but I can always volunteer if I get the notion. I am at a very happy place in my life right now with my daughter getting married, a...Expand for more
nd I can be home to plan the wedding with her. I am in touch with several of my friends from high school and even from Eldred Grade School. I still hang out with Sue Ivers, Janine Claflin, Jeanne Hough, Toni Hamel, and of course my husband Greg Olmstead. Two of the saddest things that have happened in my life are the deaths of my good friends Don Hartwick and Dan Sullivan. I encourage all of you to tell your friends that you love them. Stay in contact when you can. Friends are priceless.
We celebrated the marraige of our daughter Kari and now have welcomed our first grandson Wyatt James Manker on February 13, 2008. He is the joy of our lives. I babysit him 3 to 4 days a week. We just had our first Christmas with him and it was just great. I have posted a picture taken at our Christmas service at Eldred Baptist Church. Greg couldn't be there that day because he had to work. He is absent from the picture but I am there with our son Justin, daughter Kari, son-in-law Jim and grandson Wyatt. I highly recommend grandkids!
