 * Sharie (Stone) Ennis**

 **1969: **Following graduation I attended EJC 1959-60 and attended SCC 1960-61. Married April 1962 Matt Ennis. Employed as a medical secretary and bookkeeper for 8 years. Soon to retire as we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our first child the first part of October. My husband is in the auto insurance business and has been the past years. He is now the Seattle branch manager of Mission Insurance Company.

**1979:** Since the ten year reunion I have become a mother to two girls, ages 9 and 6. My life has changed completely since they came along! I am very active as a Campfire leader and Council committee person for Snohomish County. I am also PTA treasurer for local school and parttime bookkeeper at home. My life is so busy but have found time to take up a long dreamed ambition and that is learning to play the organ. My teacher is none other than fellow classmate, Bob McCutchin! My husband is Matt Ennis. We have been married 17 years. His occupation is Sales and Office Management for an industrial tool supply house in Seattle. ** 1999: **  · Still married—37 years · Eldest daughter is married—6 years · Have one wonderful grandson—age 3 ½ years · Second daughter is a nurse at Children’s Orthopedic. Not married yet!! · I am Executive Director for a non-profit human services agency for children in Snohomish Co—5 ½ years. Love the work—very rewarding but extremely challenging. · Spouse (Matt) is partially disabled but continues to be employed fulltime as an industrial specialty tool salesman. · Still live in Lynnwood (33 years—same house!) · Love to be with family & friends so entertain a great deal. · Continue to be active in my community & belong to several business-related organizations. · Life is good!!

**2009:** What a great way to update our biographies for the "50th"! Isn't modern technology wonderful? The past ten years have been a whirlwind for me! Our daughter #2 married in 2001 and their home is in Northwest Seattle. She is still a nurse at Seattle Children's Hospital in the Cardiac Center where she has become a Heart Transplant Coordinator. She and John have blessed us with Avery (now nearly 6) and "Our Little Princess" - Alyssa - 2 1/2!! Our daughter Erin has moved to Everett (east of Silver Lake) where she and her husband each run their independent businesses from their home. They have blessed us with two wonderful grandsons - Nick now 13 and Jack who is 8. We love spending time with all of them!! Matt & I are both now retired and moved in 2007 from our long time home in Lynnwood, "up the road" to North Marysville! We are still adjusting to the change but enjoying meeting more folks our ages, who were also looking to downsize and move to a "country" atmosphere! My husband, Matt (we've been married 47 years!) has had multiple health problems over the past five years but he has managed them all very well. Must have been all the great nursing care he received!!! So far I have been fortunate that my health has been very good - just a few problems with arthritis. We keep busy watching over our mothers health care (my Mom is 91 and Matt's is 93 - both living in different Retirement/Assisted Living facilities in So. Snohomish County). They have their ups and downs but we are blessed to still have them with us. We have recently joined a local exercise group which was much needed!! We both enjoy volunteering within our community and I volunteer one day weekly in Arlington for another organization as well. I have so enjoyed getting re-acquainted with several of the "59" gals at our bi-monthly lunches over the past year - all thanks to Mona Peterson Kerr! How did she know that we all needed to add this special time to our lives?! It has been wonderful to have extra time to learn about one anothers lives and families. We have shared laughter and some tears but most important, we have reconnected, which is so great! In addition, some of us have been able to become involved with the planning of the MVHS Class of 1959 - 50th Reunion event. I look forward to seeing many of you there!
