My hero (es) in my Overmyer family ancestry :
My Grandma Helen Overmyer Mason, she was a sweet little lady:-)
Why I think a Overmyer Reunion is important:It is always good to know those who share your history! What a great opportunity to learn something new that you didn't know before.
How my branch of the family can help : We are more then willing to share any information about our ancestors that we have. We truly believe in the importance of knowing who you are and where you come from.
Favorite Overmyer family story:It is not so much a story that I have to share as it is about what I remember about my grandma Mason that made her so special to me. As a little girl I loved to have grandma come and visit. She always had the most wonderful jewelry (I don't think that there was a time when she didn't wear any) and as a young girl I loved to try on all of grandma's jewels. She always had her nails painted and carried a purse that never failed to contained a little treat for me ,usually pink peppermint candy. She was a tiny lady with a big personalty, I passed her up in height when I was in the 4th grade (she was just under 5 feet tall). She would come and take my mother and myself to lunch and because she was so tiny she had to scoot the seat up so that she could touch the pedals to drive the car.We use to joke about this because if you looked at the car a certain way it would look like the car was driving itself. Her Hair was white and it had a wave to it that always made it look so soft and perfectly styled. Her eyes where a soft blue giving her a perfect grandma look. She had a great laugh and a spunky sense of humor. You knew when grandma was in the room and she let you just what she was thinking. I have many found memories of the times that my grandma spent with or family.
What else you should know about me: I love to learn, and I love to hear stories about people. I am married to Gary Jacobson and we have 1 teenage daughter Rylee.
