Occupation: Law & DeMaio, S.C.  3 years, Legal Assistant I was employed with Economy/Metlife for 23 years until downsized in 2003.

No Spouse/Significant Other….I think I am finally ready to be in a healthy relationship.

What I am doing now:

I am almost done “raising” my three children. Michelle is a senior. I am currently back in school—nursing. Better late than never!  I hope to use my RN for work and for mission work.

I went on a mission trip to Cape Town South Africa in 2004, with Bruce Wilkinson’s Dream for Africa and the Never Ending Gardens group, which was life changing.

I do volunteer work, Habitat for Humanity, nursing homes, work with people with disabilities and volunteer for the KC Chiefs football training camp. I am hoping to get to Freeport for the reunion. I missed the last one and would love to see classmates once again.  Also, to possibly re-establish some old friendships and contacts!

I have one grandchild locally, Katherine, with whom I love to spend time. The other grandchild is in Illinois, and I see him as often as I am able to.

I still love the theatre and singing/dance.  I have been on several worship teams and hope to do so again once school is finished.  I am enjoying being in my forties.  I am not in a relationship and have not been for a while. I know myself now.  I look forward to the rest of my life with enthusiasm and am excited for what the future may hold!
