​
  • ​Family members who bowl: Mother, Jean C Haigler
  • Greatest influence in bowls and why: My mother -- who told me never complain about the greens and to be an umpire.
  • Best player competed against and why: Too many to name one, but what I learned was to follow my mother’s advice.
  • Goals/Aspirations for personal bowls career: To be a bowler that my competitors see as a worthy opponent.
  • Goals/Aspirations outside of bowls: When I asked my husband how to answer this, he said, “To eat more chicken” -- that’s because I love chicken, and nobody grills chicken better than he does.
  • Greatest bowls achievement: Skip of the fours team, where we took Gold at the 2017 US Open.
  • Random fact about you: As a teenager, I competed in barrel racing at the Sky-Hi Stampede Rodeo in Monte Vista, Colorado, which was part of the professional rodeo circuit.  Yee-haw!
