sex industry and transformed her life
by finding Jesus. She now works to
get others out of the industry. It is
just proof that anyone who wants to
change their life can do so.
PCT: What do you do to decompress?
BH: I unwind by watching
Investigation Discovery, working on
genealogy, or spending time with my
daughter and granddaughters.
PCT: What is something people don’t
know about you?
BH: I love to volunteer my time for
the Weatherford Police Department.
Most do not know that I was doing
traffic control at age 15 for Palo Pinto
County Civil Defense. I have gone
on manhunts, trolled the bottom of
the lake trying to recover a body, and
searched fields for missing people
during day and night time. Something
that seems to take people off guard
is my family. I am a cousin to two
of the famous Christian heavy metal
band members of Stryper. Their
grandfather and my dad were broth-
ers.
PCT: What would you most like to be
remembered for?
BH: I would like to be remembered
for being a giving person, loving wife,
mom and grandmother, and being a
little mischievous.
PCT: What is your definition of the
best day ever?
BH: Next to having my granddaugh-
ters safe and healthy, my ultimate day
would be a day of no bad news, no
fighting, peace and calm on earth. of painting and photographing for
myself, the transition into commis-
sioned work for the public was fairly
seamless. I’ve been working for our
local community and beyond now for
about nine years.
PCT: What’s the best piece of advice
you would give?
BH: Be a leader not a follower; stand
up for yourself while being kind to
others. PCT: What is your favorite novel?
BM: I’ve always been a Tolkien fan,
so Lord of the Rings trilogy ranks
pretty high! Redeeming Love by
Francine Rivers, based on the book of
Hosea is a captivating read as well.
PCT: What is the most interesting
thing you have ever done in your
life?
BH: Actually two things, first is
having been a bone marrow donor
back in 1995 to a 16-year-old boy
in Italy. I have been to Italy twice to
visit him. I was his “witness” or “best
woman” at his wedding. The second
thing is finding my father’s biological
siblings after 64 years of separation.
He got to meet two of the five before
he passed away, and I have since
located two more.

sation with my great-grandparents
