As a 4th generation Ames girl, I watched Ames change and grow over the years. I’ve traveled the country enough to really appreciate what a great place Ames is to live and raise a family. Ames has the best of small town living coupled with many advantages of living in a larger community. My past seat on the executive board and continued involvement in committees for the Young Professionals of Ames and membership in the Ames Jaycees have helped me to stay involved in the community, and continue to learn more about this great city we call home. Family My husband Larry and I have two young children, Forest and Harmony. Becoming parents has underscored what a great place Ames is for family life. My parents still live in Ames, along with my sister and brother. Our family business, Ames Laundry, was closed after 97 years in business and space is now the parking lot for Youth and Shelter Services.
