My family is my biggest priority and my greatest gift. Dean and I have been married for 32 years. Our daughters, Lauren and Morgan are 21 and 19, currently attending university.

Dean and I were both raised in Kingsville and benefited from the small town atmosphere.

When we first married we moved to Ottawa where I attended university and worked as a commercial underwriter and Dean got his technician’s license and worked as an auto mechanic. We enjoyed living in our nation’s capital, but nearly a decade later we knew it was time to return to our hometown. We wanted to start our own family and raise our children in this wonderful town, close to family.

Volunteering is a way of life for us, from helping at events, coordinating food drives, working with service clubs and more! I joined the local Lioness club when I was 18 and today I am a charter member of the Rotary Club of Kingsville Southshore. I am a regular volunteer at the Food Bank, Hope Centre and with the Pollinate Kingsville committee, to name a few.

Dean has been at his dream job as the mechanic at the renowned Kingsville Golf & Country Club since 2025 after 3 decades of being a master technician. He has also recently retired as a Kingsville volunteer fire fighter. You can find him on the golf course or in the garden most days.
