The Bellville community is my passion, just behind God and my family. Having grown up in Bellville it gives me joy introducing new people to Austin County as well as helping current residents find their future home or commercial property. My husband and I raised out three daughters on land that has been in his family for seven generations, so I understand the desire to lay down roots and call a place home. We now enjoy watching our six grandchildren bask in the opportunities that a lively small town offers. The future of Bellville is a top priority for me as my children and grandchildren all live here along with our extended family that currently numbers forty-two. My passion for our community has led me to serve in different organizations over the years. Since Faith Academy was founded, I have been involved as a parent, a volunteer, the founder of the booster club, and now as a proud grandparent. As a founder of The Friends of Bellville organization our goal is to maintain Bellville's charm through restoration and beautification of our special town. Randy and I are also active members of the First Bellville Church where I serve on the Long-Range Planning Committee. I also serve on the Austin County Water Corporation Board that serves the rural water needs of our area. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you and your family or business to share my love of Bellville with you and to find the right property for whatever your future holds.
