I grew up in Point Pleasant, Mason County, West Virginia, where all my close family lived and died. I attended and received degrees from Ohio University and the University of Cincinnati. I worked as a publications editor, environmental planner, and non-profit executive in Cincinnati, Ohio; Phoenix, Arizona; and Washington,DC. I am now retired, living in Falls Church, Virginia.

Daughter of Shirley Edward Waugh and Ina Bertha VanSickle. I have a Waugh/VanSickle public tree on Ancestry.com. My family of Waughs, VanSickles, VanMeters, Niberts, Wootens, Birchfields, Leggs, Laniers and others are buried in cemeteries in Mason County including VanSickle, Pine Grove, Beech Hill, Pliny Presbyterian, Concord Baptist, Lone Oak, and Suncrest cemeteries, to name just a few.
