Biography
 
 

I have been married twice.  First hubby was a VHS graduate. We parted ways and I later married Gene Karsner, a Hoosier who transferred to GA with State Farm Ins.  Gene passed away in 2008.  He always enjoyed our class reunions....and thought he was one of "us."

 
My two daughters, Shannon and Courtenay, live in north GA.  Shannon works for a pharmaceutical company in Marietta, GA and Courtenay is a radiation therapist in Gainesville, GA.  Courtenay's husband, Jon, is a special son-in-law to me. Shannon is single.
 
I have 2 grown granddaughters, Piper and Peyton, and 2 almost grown grandsons, Will and Ben. Piper teaches 4th grade, Peyton is in college and the boys are still in school.  They call me Mimi.
 
I graduated from Darton College in Albany GA with degrees in Accounting and Computer Science and was a Sr. Computer Programmer/analyst  in Albany and later in the Atlanta area for more than 20 years.  I loved developing software...that was my niche.
 
I have been retired since 2001 and have lived in the NE GA mountains since then.  I stay busy with family and church activities and piddling in the yard and I love to travel.  I am active in my church doing whatever needs to be done.  I plan to remain a "mountain woman" for as long as I can hire someone to cut the grass and do other "man" jobs around the house.  So far so good.
