Together they serve as the leaders of the Ruth Harbor home. Shawn and Cara have three daughters, Danielle (who is married to husband, Derrick with two grandchildren), Madeline (who is married to husband, Michael with one grandchild) and Alyssa (who is married to husband, Joe). In Shawn’s spare time, he is a handyman who enjoys woodworking, collecting coins, and metal detection. Cara enjoys anything craft-related, playing card games, and crocheting. Shawn and Cara really enjoy traveling in their free time especially to see their family and new sites.
