I was an elementary Secretary & Learning Disability Aide at South Nodaway Elementary school there until my husband, Ron, was transferred to Springfield, MO in 1987 at UPS. There I worked for an attorney as a bookkeeper until Ron was transferred to Camdenton in 1990. I started working at Lake Valley as a bookkeeper in 1991. Ron and I have a daughter, Rhonda, who lives in Nashville with our two granddaughters, Rachel and Ryan and her husband, Rusty. Lake Valley members have been like a family to me since I started working here. I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to work here. I have also been so lucky to work with great fellow employees as well. 8
