Why did you decide to make Rankin County
your home?
Kenneth and I both have lived in Rankin
County all of our lives, specifically the town of
Puckett. We love the family atmosphere here
in Puckett and would not want to live
anywhere else.
How long have you lived in Rankin County?
Our families have called Rankin County home
for many generations. Both of us graduated
from Puckett High School, started our family
here, as well as our business of 21 years,
Huff-N-Stuff.
Tell us about your family.
After college Kenneth and I married in 1988
making our home in the Antioch community
outside of Puckett. Our daughter, Kendall, is
an emergency room nurse at Baptist hospital
in Jackson and will soon complete her nurse
practitioner degree. Our son, Jacob, will
graduate in May of 2021 from the Doctor
of Physical Therapy program at UMMC.
Kenneth runs our family business of Huff-
N-Stuff, and I am a school nurse at Puckett
employed through Region 8.
What is your favorite memory of living
in Rankin County?
There are many memories that could be
discussed. However, attending sporting events
for my children along with other young adults
through the years are by far my favorite.
Where are your three favorite places
to eat in Rankin County?
Even after many years, the BBQ and fried
chicken at Huff-N-Stuff is still one of our
favorites. We are also fond of Billy Burgers
as well as Genna Bennas.
What are some fun things to do in Rankin
County on the weekends?
We enjoy boating with friends at the reservoir.
More local fun consists of riding backroads in
our jeep and spending time with friends.
Share some things you enjoy doing in your
spare time.
Our family enjoys attending Ole Miss sporting
events as well as frequent vacations to the
beach.
What are three things on your bucket list?
The top thing on my bucket list is becoming
a certified scuba diver so I will be able to dive
on trips with my family. The second thing on
my bucket would be to travel and explore the
underwater world of Honduras. I would also
love to travel to Alaska to see the northern
lights.
Who is someone you admire and why?
The people I most admire are my parents.
Their strong work ethic and unconditional
love has been such a great example as I have
built my own life. We enjoy spending time
together traveling and attending sporting
events.
Where do you see yourself ten years
from now?
Even though I love my job and what I do
each day, in ten years I hope to be retired
and traveling.
What is your favorite childhood memory?
Growing up in a rural area, my grandparents
and cousins played a huge role in my childhood.
My favorite memories definitely include my
cousin Julie and our many outdoor adventures.
If you could give us one encouraging quote,
what would it be?
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with
benefits, the God of our salvation!
-Psalm 68:19
