Student Council Advisor

I have been married for 41 years to Ron Medlin. We were married in 1979.

Yes, I have three adult children: two daughters – Jaime and Jennifer and one son – Ben. I have three grand children: Henry, George and Lucy. They are very dear to my heart.  

We moved to Cape Girardeau, MO in the summer of 1998 and I was offered a teaching/coaching position at the Sikeston Junior High School. My children attended Sikeston schools and graduated from Sikeston High School. They went on to get degrees from colleges in Missouri and are successful in their chosen careers.
