Shelia's Story
For those who knew me in school, you all know I married in my junior year. In 1976, I had boy/girl twins. They are now 32 years old! In 1982, I had another beautiful little boy. He is now 27. I lived on 85th Street for 16 years. In 1990, I was widowed after a tragic accident. My children and I moved to Shadywood for a little over a year. I married my best friend, David, in 1992. The next year, we moved to Boligee.....in Greene County. That is where you can find me now! We live on a small farm, where we grow and sell vegetables, fruit, and pecans. We have raised AKC German Shepherds for 16 years. We also make and sell Disciples Cross necklaces. They are really pretty. Contact me via private email if you want to see them. They won't let me list it here.
Kent, the twin boy, is the manager of a catfish farm here in Boligee. He is married and has 2 children, a girl, age 7, and a boy, age 2. Charissa, the twin girl, is a stay-at-home mom of two little boys, ages 4 and 2. Be...Expand for more
lieve me, she has her hands full !! Charissa also has a step-daughter, Christina, age 21. Adam, my youngest, who was adopted by my husband, is the owner of Ross Taxidermy located here in Boligee. He is also a guide and videographer for an outfitter located in Carmi, Illinois. He splits his year between the two places. Adam has never been married and has no children, so he is able to follow his dream and travel all over the country with his camera!
David and I have been married for 17 years.
UPDATE*** My wonderful David passed away on September 7, 2009 after a 2 week illness. He was the love of my life, my best friend, the other part of me. He was the kindest man I have ever met....and the funniest. I will miss him so very much. I can't imagine how I am going to go on without him.
I would love to hear from my old friends at Banks High School. The only person I have really kept in contact with since leaving Birmingham is Jane (Mayer) Whitfield. Best wishes to you all.
