Children:  4  Jeannie (Mrs. Tony Bertapelli) of Phoenix; Lin (Jeanine) Rowell; Gregg (Tammy) Rowell & Jana (Mrs. John Finley) all of Omaha.

     After graduation I went to Omaha where I went to business school for a short time.  Then I went to work for Continental Grain.

     Gene Rowell and I were married in 1959.  We had four children over the next twelve years and at that time, I became a stay at home mom.

     In 1976 I went to work for the Omaha Public School's Transportation Department in the transportation of Special Education Students.  I became a supervisor of the drivers and aides of the wheel chair buses.  We transport over one hundred and fifty students in wheel chairs daily.  This is a very rewarding job that I enjoy very much, and is probably why I am still working.

     In 1992 Gene and I were divorced but have remained good friends and enjoy time together with our children and grandchildren.

     I work in my yard and garden in summer and love being outside.  I try to travel to Arizona in the winter when I can.
