Jerry and I were married in 1969 in Walton, West Virginia.  I was from Clendenin and he was from Walton.  I was 17 and Jerry was 19; very young and immature with a lot of hard lessons to learn.  After 7 years, we moved from Roane County to Summersville for work opportunities.

We attended Beulah Baptist Church for many years and while there Jerry was called to preach.  He helped out both at Beulah Baptist and Walton Union for 20 years.  He is semi-retired from his passion of building cars.  I am retired from the Nicholas County Board of Education but still work occasionally.

We have 2 children, Jennifer (Mike) Altizer and Jeff (Susan) Board.  We have 6 grandchildren.  Our oldest grandchildren are Kaley and Andrew Deal whose dad was Jeremy Deal, who was also a member of Little Union and a great influence in the community prior to his untimely death.  Our younger grandchildren are Hunter, Taylor, Haleigh and Zoey Board; all have been saved here at Little Union.  We are blessed to be able to worship with both of our children and their families.

We both try to serve here at Little Union as best we can and are blessed to be nurtured in the word as it is taught and preached here.  We have been at Little Union for 20+ years.
