I was born in Greenville, SC, raised in Columbus, Georgia, then to Spartanburg, SC when I was 13 years old. I was fortunate to attend Dorman High School where I played clarinet in the Marching Band and Spartanburg Community College.
Having my family close by is a blessing. They include my four daughters: Tamara, Andrea, Victoria, and Alicia; eight grandchildren, Joseph, Fisher, Brooklyn, Lily, Karlee, Maci, Brady, and Tyson; one sister, Jean and brother-in-love, Martin; and my parents, Brenda and Bernie, (along with multiple other family members).
I am a member of Spartanburg Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
Living in the Upstate of South Carolina is the perfect place, right in the middle of the mountains and the beach, which I so love to travel to.
In 2014, I chose to work at The J. F. Floyd Mortuary to serve our families. It is a great honor to create the last item for the family of their loved one, whether it is the obituary, bookmark, candle or assisting with a jewelry piece order. It always brings joy to an incredibly sad time.
