Sunny is an unabashed enthusiast for all things richly rewarding- life, family, friends, and service to others. Approaching each experience and every person with equal passion and unequaled commitment to excellence, who I am, does translate into what I do.

I’ve been an aesthetician for over 50 years and have owned my own business since 1980. Being a woman in business has brought me challenges but much joy. The biggest joy in my life is my family. Husband, Fred of 58 years, Daughter and her husband, and Granddaughter and her husband and now two Great Granddaughters! Volunteering has always been a part of my life and being a part of Women Helping Women Fund Tri-Cities has also brought me new friendships and opportunities to serve my community in new ways I had not been able to in the past. My favorite thing to do is to make “Memories”.
