My name is Marion Dodson and I am the Treasurer for Stand Firm Christian Church.
A bit about me ..... The greatest blessings in my life are my two children, Craig Dodson and Whitney Simpson. My children have the most loving and wonderful spouses - Joy Dodson and Lee Simpson. I have five beautiful and talented granddaughters - Lauren, Rylee, Georgie Simpson and Gracie and Katie Dodson. My husband George passed away in 2001.
I would say my life has been blessed. I retired from Bell Atlantic (Verizon) in Engineering with thirty-one (31) years of service. After staying home about a year, I went to a meeting held at the Courthouse one day and left the Courthouse working part time with the Juvenile Probation and Parole Office for about a year and transferred to Adult Probation and Parole Office full time and worked twenty (20) years before retiring a second time. Several months after retiring, one Sunday morning in Church a high school friend asked if I would like a part time position at his real estate office. It has never been part time and I am still there. It is the perfect retirement position.
I spend a lot of my time painting, cooking and working puzzles (jig saw and crosswords). Cooking has always been a passion for me and a service to my family.
We have a wonderful Church family and I am thankful to be a part of this group of Christian friends.
