Mary Bennett

Our August spotlight is Mary Bennett.  Mary has been married to her husband, Jim for 40 years.  She says the key to a long marriage isn’t hard, but it takes work and apologizing.  She also says, “We tell each other 'I love you', all the time”.   Mary had 5 children and Jim had 2 from previous marriages and when they came together they had 3 girls and 4 boys.  Mary is a dog lover and has had one around most of her life.  A German Shepard, a mutt, a Rat Terrier, and a Chihuahua are some of the breeds she has had and loves them all.  Another one of her and her husband’s loves, are John Wayne Movies.  A sound Mary loves is the sound of a screen door opening and closing as that reminds her of home.  Another interesting fact about Mary is that she drove a Semi-truck for 6 years.  She usually drove during the day and Jim drove nights.  One of their dreams is to live in a 5^th wheel trailer and drive around to visiting their kids and grand kids.  Right now she has a granddaughter on a mission in Brazil.  Thanks for sharing Mary!
