I am a lifelong resident of Piedmont, AL, and I graduated from Piedmont High School in 1976. I received both my bachelor's degree and master's degree in Early Childhood Education from Jacksonville State University. My husband, Terry, and I have two children, Carly Conaway Cronan and Jacob Conaway. Carly is a second grade teacher Piedmont Elementary School, and Jacob is a software engineer at Microsoft in Seattle, Washington. I love spending time with my family, reading, hiking, and traveling.
