She’s done various jobs over the years, from helping her fi rst husband Les Pointer remodel houses, to milking dairy cows for 14 years. “Anywhere from 60 to 180,” she said of the cows. She is married to Kevin Dyke. She has three children — Gail Daniels, Greg Pointer and Gary Pointer. Over the years she helped take care of her grandchildren, and now spends time with great-grandchildren.
