I have lived in Dyer all my life. I married Gary Stutler and we have two children. Thad was born in 1965 and has four children. Ben-17, Matt-15, Emily-13 and Jacob 7. He is a House Supervisor RN for St. Margaret Mercy.
Mark was born in 1967 and has two children. LeAnn-13 and Kyle 11. He is a Tool and Die maker for Ford Motor Company. Both Boys have been married for twenty years.
Gary passed away in 2008.
All my jobs were in Dyer. I worked 5 years as a teller, 28 years as a bookkeeper at Kahler Middle School, (our old high school) and 2 years as a Deputy Clerk for the Town of Dyer. I am VERY HAPPILY retired!!!!!!!! Gary and I had a wonderful marriage and enjoyed our families very much. I am truly blessed to have my children and grandchildren as such a great support team. I am very proud of them and all they have accomplished. While I still had Gary with me, and he was able, we did little day time jaunts. Now I am learning how to re-live the single life. I must say I am enjoying having the time to read and pursue my many hobbies.
I have enjoyed renewing old friendships with my classmates through our bi-monthly luncheons and being able to help with the reunion plan, (although I'm not so sure how much I have contributed).
