Jolene Elliot Conner Pipes Up!

After High School I attended West Coast Christian College in Fresno, California, where I met my husband, Gary. We married in 1971 and lived in California in the Bay area where we pastored a small church for several years. Our son was 1974 and about a year later we moved to Ellensburg, Washington and pastored a church there. My husband did drywall work, as well, so I was able to stay at home with our son.

We eventually moved to Yakima where we started a drywall and paint business and also added a daughter and another son to our family. I became the bookkeeper and secretary for the business while raising our 3 children. I also worked a secretary for Riverside Counseling Center from 19990 to 1992.

In the summer of 1987 my husband began pastoring a church in Zillah, Washington, where we now reside. It has been quite an adventure! We also still run the drywall and painting business where I still work as secretary and bookkeeper.

Two of our 3 children are married but as of this date we have only grand dogs (4) and no grandchildren. We also have 2 miniature dachsunds and one stray cat.
