See links to my mother and daddy, and of course, my children, Tracey and Katie were my life's treasure, and my husband Charlie Womack, Jr. With God's help and by carrying me, he got me through the loss of them, as I prayed each day I wouldn't wake up, but I kept waking up and life kept going on. I heard "One day at a Time" constantly in my mind for the longest time.
I married George (Joe) Gousset on 12/1/84, and we celebrated our 30th anniversary in 2014, and my only immediate family is one sister, Betty Grace Lee Lewis, and one nephew, James (Jimmy) McManus and his wife, Rhonda.
