Chaplain Priscilla Berry did the honors of swearing in new Sarah Maples DAR member Stephani Plapp on Sept. 16. Registrar Geneice Morris whose job it is to help prospective members find the proof they need for membership helped a great deal. Stephani went to Junior College in Athens and then she attended Abilene Christian University and graduated from the University of North Texas in Denton. She spent three years in Seattle, Washington and worked as a nanny. After her return to Texas she began teaching Texas history. History is her first love so she took many extra classes in college. Reading and teaching history is one of her passions. Currently she is retired and has started her own business making soaps, candles and hand blended herbal teas. Stephani’s husband is a member of the Sons of the American Revolution and his mother and daughter are members of DAR. She is proud to find that she has ancestors that started this country and fought for the rights we are privileged to have and she is excited to be a member of the same chapter as her mother, Nancy Phillips.
