Background/Experience/Interest
My family and I have been a utilizing the Arlington library on a regular basis for 30 years. In
addition to the physical library collection, we have taken advantage of digital content and the many
programs offered to patrons from library story time for toddlers through adult programs.
We don't just love the Arlington library, we visit libraries everywhere when we travel around the
country on vacation. From tiny small town libraries, to Carnegie libraries, to big city libraries, we
love them all.
The skills I would bring to the board include a 30 year familiarity with the town of Arlington and
knowledge of programs that appeal to various ages (I have 8 children with ages from 1-22). I am
extremely organized and put a priority on following through with my commitments. For the past four
years I have been managing an all volunteer produce co-op. I am responsible for all aspects of the
co-op including: managing the finances, placing orders, creating spreadsheets, supervising
volunteers, dealing with grievances and recruiting new members.
I believe I would be a valuable member of the library board.

Background/Experience/Interest
I am an avid taphophile. I love wandering cemeteries, looking at the artwork on the stones, reading
about the people interred there, and learning about the history of an area through the eyes of the
past. Preserving cemeteries is one of the most important things a community can do to keep the
history of the community alive, to be passed along to future generations. I developed my love for
cemeteries in the 9th grade, when Mrs. Jacks, my History teacher, assigned the class to do a
cemetery study. We had just moved to the area, and by doing a cemetery study, I learned quite a
bit about the community's history and the people who were there before me. And that sparked a
love for cemeteries that continues to this day.
I have wandered several cemeteries in Washington State. I believe the oldest I have wandered
is the one at Lake McMurray. In 2002, George Groesbeck from troop 4057 as an Eagle Scout
Project, cleaned up and mapped the cemetery (http://lakemcmurraycemetery.weebly.com/). I so
enjoyed visiting that cemetery. Even though it is right next to Hwy. 9, it is a peaceful spot to rest.
I grew up in Alabama, spending my summers in Spring City, Tennessee where my mother grew
up. Spring City is a little town right by Watts Bar Lake. The old Porter, McClendon, and Spring City
Cemeteries, where my great-great-grandparents and great-grandparents, great aunts and uncles,
and cousins from both sides of the family, and now my grandparents, are buried, are in the Spring
City area. These old family cemeteries expanded my love of wandering among the stones and
reading about the people interred there. From them, I learned quite a bit about my family, as well
as the early peoples of Spring City. According to the stones I read, my family has been in Spring
City since the early 1800s.
I like to read, crochet, sew and embroider. I enjoy camping, and spending time outdoors.
Recently, my husband and I have taken up metal detecting. That is one hobby that is both fun and
full of exercise!
Joseph and I have been married for 30+ years. We have a son, Jason, who is married with two
sons of his own. They live in Alabama. Joe and I have lived in Arlington proper since May of 2002.
Before 2002 we lived in Smokey Point. We have lived in Washington State since 1998.
I know nothing about being on a cemetery board. I will bring to the table a love for cemeteries,
the history and stories they have to tell, and a willingness to study and learn what is needed for me
to fulfill my duties. I will work to preserve the Arlington Cemetery as it is today. I will open my eyes
to look to the future, so that the needs of the public who will use the cemetery can be met.
