I'm a retired R.N., I worked mostly on a cardio/pulmonary unit and was also a communicable disease nurse and for a short stint a jail nurse. My hobbies are traveling, reading, and embroidery. My favorite season is spring. I feel so honored when children come and sit with me at church. I love to listen to them. My favorite Bible verses are Romans 8:26-28.

I was born in Pontiac, Michigan, on September 17, 1937. Tragically, my birth father passed away before I was born, and my birth mother died shortly after my birth, leaving me an orphan almost from the start. Fortunately, I was adopted by Dr. and Mrs. Lester G. Sevener, who lived in Charlotte, Michigan, and were active members of the Charlotte Seventh Day Adventist Church.

They played a significant role in establishing a church school, which began in a lean-to behind the church on South Sheldon St. I started my education there at the age of 7 in 1944, entering first grade. Later, the church built a one-room school on North High St., where I continued my studies. After the addition of a second room, I graduated from this school. I then attended the Lansing church school for two years before moving on to Adelphian Academy, where Leonard Hill taught me in the 11th and 12th grades. My academic journey culminated in five years at Andrews University, which was known as Emmanuel Missionary College when I began my studies. I earned a degree in Physics.

After completing my education, I obtained my amateur and commercial radio licenses and worked as an engineer at a local AM radio station in Charlotte. I then spent 24 years as a civilian employee for the Michigan State Police in Lansing, where I eventually became the shop supervisor. Before retiring, I collaborated with Bruce Carpenter and other church members to construct the church school at 1510 S. Cochran in 1994, which we still use today.

Upon retiring from the Michigan State Police in 2000, I was appointed to oversee the construction of the gymnasium added to the school. I take great pride in having contributed to numerous projects and remaining an active member of the church throughout my life.

About Me:

Attended CACS as a child from 1st through 8th Grade, however, it was located on High Street in Charlotte at that time.  Have since continued to be involved with the school for 35-40 years as a board member and/or board chair.  It probably goes without saying that I very much believe in  Christian Education and especially in small classroom settings!

I just celebrated 45 years of marriage with my high school sweetheart and have two married children with 5 grandchildren that we love spending time with!

Hobbies:

I have many interests like sports, camping, hiking, and lawn care.  My greatest loves, however, are with music & photography.  I have enjoyed capturing “light” in its many forms & styles using photography since early high school days.  I also love playing guitar and leading worship music, but love vocal harmonies the most. I’ve therefore spent a majority of my life singing in Quartets and Choirs.  I attribute this love to my parents (and grandparents) who taught me and my siblings from a very young age, how to sing harmony together and always for the purpose of sharing God’s love with others.

Favorites:

Food: Anything I haven’t had to make!

Dessert: Warm Raspberry Pie w/ Vanilla Ice Cream

Season: Autumn

Music: Gospel / Christian

Color: Cool Blues

Animal: Horses and Cats

Sport: American Football

Bible Verse: Revelation 21:4
