I was born on December 14, 1952  in Lakeland Florida, to the family of  Grady and Ila Bennett.  Most of my life has been spent in and around Franklin County.  My earlier education was received at the Canon Elementary school.  By the way, Canon is a very small town about ninety-five miles north of Atlanta, Ga. For my high school years I attended Franklin County High School located in Carnesville, Ga.  I graduated from there June of 1970.

     After graduation I went to Elbert County Vocational School of Practical Nursing.  I graduated in 1971 with a degree of practical nursing.  I later passed my state board exam and became a full fledge Licensed Practical Nurse.

     I attended Anderson College located in Anderson S. C. for three semesters, then transfered to Emmanuel College in 1974.  This is where I met my wonderful  husband. We were married September 28, 1975. 

     I feel like this is the place where I should give my salvation testimony.  I attended Church all my life and was very religious. I thought salvation was going down and shaking the preacher's hand and joining the Church.  I did this at the age of thirteen. I never heard the true gospel.  When I married Bro. Dan, I knew he had something I didn't.  I convinced myself that everything was all right, but I knew in my heart that I had never asked the Precious Lord to come into my heart and become my Savior.  The Holy Spirit began to convict my heart, and during an old fashioned revival meeting, I went to the altar and asked the Lord to save me. That was 17 years ago, and now I have what Bro. Dan has.  Praise the Lord!

     Now back to my education.  I attended Bethany Baptist Bible College in Dothan, Alabama.  I received my Graduate of Religious Education in 1989.

     I taught at Christian school that we had at the Church for seven years, then when the school closed I home schooled my daughters. The Lord has blessed us with two precious girls.  Amy Leah born Dec. 10, 1976,
and Alisha Gail born September 22, 1978.  They are truly blessings to us.

     I love being a pastor's wife, and praise the Lord for our congregation.
