About Me I am still working and enjoy my job, I am in a relationship with a very special person. So I would say life is really good I have 2 wonderful and beautiful daughters and 4 beautiful Grandchildren, Marisa, Lindsey, Josh and Danielle In June 24th I became a Great Grandmother how wonderful that is to such three beautiful little girls. I was born in Corona, New Mexico, when I was 9 my father sold the Ranch and moved to Western Colorado, I did not like Colorado and my only goal in life was to grow up and leave there. In 1954 I married Lloyd Tilley he was career Air Force.

The base was closed in 1966 and we went to Witicha, Kansas and Lloyd retired in 1968, we stayed there until 1970 and due to the horrible weather we decided that wasn't the place for us and we moved to Las Vegas.

We are into our seventh year together and we are making...(read more)
