She attended Stout and married her high school sweetheart on August 11th, 1990. She moved briefly to St. Paul before settling in Woodbury, Minnesota in 1992. She graduated from Globe College and worked many years as a Medical Assistant at Central Pediatrics and other clinics, but her favorite job was a Preschool teacher at Parents Day Out. "Miss Missy" had a gift with children and loved her time teaching. Nothing in her life was more important than her children, she was involved in every activity imaginable while raising three busy kids. In her spare time she loved spending time outdoors with her family and dogs, especially at her quiet cabin up North.
