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. I loved the life of a Service mans wife, first home for a year was in Reno, Nevada, then Trier, Germany for 3 years, SAC headquarters in Omaha Nebraska, Karamursel Turkey, back to SAC headquarters in Omaha. Lloyd was then sent on an isolated tour of duty to Port Moller in Alaska for 14 months at which time I returned to Colorado and spent that time with my parents and attended Beauty School, after that tour was over we went to Roswell, New Mexico (our favorite tour of duty). 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. Our daughter Becky was born while in Germany and Bonnie was born at Omaha Nebraska. The greatest joys of our lives. Las Vegas was a wise move and we enjoyed living here to the up most and our daughters did well. I lost Lloyd to Alzheimer's in 2003 and other health related complications. He was very ill for a long time. It was hard and scary starting a life without him but surprised myself and did well. I am now with a most wonderful man. We are into our seventh year together and we are making...(read more)
