Mary Lu's Story
I worked as an executive secretary since high school.
I divorced my first husband in 1970 and married Gene Gilmore in 1971. We moved from Calif to Oklahoma in Sept 1975. Never regretted the move. People here are wonderful!
I attended 2 yrs at Pasadena Nazarene College (now Point Loma in San Diego). Finished my college at So. Nazarene University in Bethany, OK in 2002.
I had 3 sons by my first marriage. I now have 16 grandkids and 2 great grandkids. Most are in Montana or Pennsylvania, but my youngest lives 2 hrs from me in Okla City, OK.
I earned my CPS (Certified Professional Secretary) ranking in 1987--after taking the 2-day, 6-part test in one sitting. --I volunteered for 3 yrs as a CASA Volunteer. (Court Appointed Special Advocate) for an abused or neglected child. My case ended well. --I have been a Mentor to a 15 yr old girl (large girl)--this is our 6th year.
I worked the last 28 yrs and 4 mo at First Nat'l Bank & Trust Co in Broken Arrow as ...Expand for more
Exec Secty to both the Chm of the Board and the President. I retired the end of June this year. They awarded me an Alaskan Cruise which I took Sep 7 this yr. It was wonderful!
I love retirement! I've been trying to get my one acre of land to look decent. I cut down a corner tree with my 14 inch electric chain saw. Bought me a Sarah Palin T-shirt to wear when I work in yard.
NE Oklahoma had a weird ice storm the first of the year. The limbs covered with thick ice just fell like glass crashing to the ground. My dogs barked at them. We were without power for a time. This was very unusual. I love Broken Arrow. We have the seasons, but usually not so defined.
I taught 3-4 grade Sunday School for 29 years, and
I have sung in the sanctuary choir since age 15. I served on Church Board for 7 yrs, taking minutes and serving as Sec'ty.
I love biking and romping with my two white dogs, Angel and Buddy. I like action movies, or drama, comedy, romance, or family.
