After graduation I had gotten married to Timothy Allen Sears and had the first of three daughters!  I continued to stay in Decatur area for 10-12 more years.  I worked along side Tim and his family in Hungry's Bar for all of the 10-12 years.  During this time I had the second daughter of three girls.

 In the early 1980's, Tim and I moved to Iowa where we started up another Hungry's Bar and Restaurant.  We ran this business for 10 years.  During this time I had the last of my three girls.

I have been in the food industry for 30 years.  In 1988, I got a divorce and raised my three daughters by myself.  They now are grown and two have left the nest,  but one (Kayleen) still remains at home.

My oldest daughter (Klarise) married 1 1/2 years ago and is now a stepmother of two children.  The second daughter (Karla) has her own home and works along side of me in my new restaurant.

 I moved back to the Tekamah area in 1992 when I started managing The Dusty Rose Restaurant and Bar.

 I recently got remarried to a very nice man by the name of Richard Hampton.  After all these years, my life has been pretty simple, but I take great pride in my family and my successful Career.  I feel I have not been cheated or left out of anything.

 I have been very healthy and my family has been very healthy.  If I had to say after all these years what was the most important thing I have done with my life after high school, I would have to say my three daughters.
