My life began in Chicago and then my family took me all around the country: California, New York, Florida, and Pennsylvania where I put down roots.

I was introduced to Jesus Christ in 1980 and have grown with Him and served Him ever since.

I got married in 1983 and stayed that way.

I’ve been a stay-at-home, homeschool mom for almost two decades.

My “Second Act” includes working for the Network of Hope, serving the community in practical ways.

I was born with Basal Cell Carcinoma Nevus Syndrome, which challenges me with an ongoing battle against skin cancer. I lead a Support Group, called HopeKeepers, for families dealing with chronic illness.
