WINTER 2022
Linda McKimmey I’m a recently retired widow and have moved to this area to be close to my daughters. I enjoy doing puzzles and reading. I’m looking forward to getting involved in some of the church activities.
George and Marilyn Posey
Both of us grew up on farms in Texas and were high school sweethearts. We have been married for 60 years and we have three children. George graduated from Texas A&M and pursued a career in oil & gas working for Enron and its predecessor companies. Marilyn graduated from Texas Women’s University in Denton and taught high school homemaking at Bellville High School and New Caney High School.
We have always been active in church such as Women’s Circle and Children’s activities. We have also been active in Meals on Wheels, delivering meals in NW Houston area for about 30 years. We enjoy the fellowship of a cooking group and meet Sunday afternoons. We have been doing this also for about 30 years. We are involved in an initiative that supports children’s scholarships and women businesses in Africa.
Some of our pastimes are traveling, and Marilyn enjoys working in the yard, growing flowers to support bird habitats. In addition, we belong to a book group and enjoy reading historical fiction.
Barbara Maurice
I was born in Philadelphia and grew up mostly in Tucson, AZ. It is a small world. As I was attending Ladies Bible study here at Lord of Life, I met someone from a very small town near Sedona, AZ. It is the same rural area I came from. My husband Nils and I were married for 44 years before he passed away. I moved here to be close to my daughter, Rita, who lives here in the Woodlands. I hope and plan to move into the Village at the Waterway when an opportunity is available there. I helped raise Niles’ four daughters and my reward is a group of sons-in-laws and 10 grandchildren who I love dearly. Speaking of love, I can honestly tell you I love my new church, Lord of Life! It was hard to leave Arizona and I miss the beautiful views. I am now getting adjusted to viewing the forest and trying to figure out what’s behind all the trees.
Ted, Teddy & Maria Krein
Ted was born and raised in the province of Edmonton, Alberta Canada. In his pursuit of higher education, Ted found himself at Tulane University in New Orleans. Upon completion of grad school, Ted moved to The Woodlands for work and met his true love, Maria. Together they have one son, Theodore (Teddy) William. In his spare time Ted likes cooking, golfing and hunting.
Maria is a Houston native, growing up in the Tomball area. She graduated from Sam Houston State University with a degree in History and now teaches 8th grade U.S. History at Tomball Junior High. Her life passions are teaching, spending time with her husband and son and traveling. Ted and Maria are excited to grow in their faith and to be joining Lord of Life church.
