Favorite Scripture: 

Matthew 20:16

Most influential person in your life; why? 

My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ most of all, and definitely my parents, Vinas & Doris Sparks

and so many of the old time prayer warriors that I grew up with that taught me so much. 

Musical Influences: 

Chris Freeman, Vestal Goodman, Jeannette Cooke, and I’m sure there are a few others.

How Many Years Singing:

Since I was two years old!

Popular artists you’ve shared the stage with: 

Gerald Crabb, Wade Spencer, The Singing Cookes, and the Cooke Brothers, The Browders, The Bowlings,

Steve Warren, Brothers Forever, and many more.

Favorite Food: 

Anything my husband cooks is the best, but I guess I would have to say also, Pizza, Pasta, and anything Italian. 

Favorite Restaurant:

If my husband had a restaurant, it would be Tom’s Restaurant, but since he doesn’t, I would have to say the Olive Garden.

Favorite Hobby: 

Singing, Playing the Piano, Working on the Computer, Spending time and traveling with my wonderful husband and beautiful daughter.  Being in such great revivals with my husband & daughter and the mighty miracles we’ve seen God perform.  It doesn’t get any better than that!!

Something that people would be surprised if they knew: 

I married my childhood sweetheart Tom Burress.  We actually met as kids when our churches would have the old fellowship meetings.  We’ve been happily married for 25 years now and I love him more each day.  I’m also a people person and I have sung before thousands of people, but when it comes to speaking in front of people, I become very shy, that is why I let Tom do all the talking on stage LOL!
