Her Mary Kay story began in 1970 when her children were 17, 16, 9, 8, and 4. She was not searching for something to do in her spare time. She was searching for a way that she could still be herself, do all the things a multi-mom does, and still come up with enough cash to help all of them through college. After scheduling the kids school, church, little league, music lessons and dance activities, she found a few blank spots for her first bookings. She attended most of the kids sporting events. She did more business from the bleachers than anywhere else. While following Mary Kay belief of "God first, Family second and Career third."

In her 47 year career she set goals, had dreams and celebrated the success of others around her.
