I am a native Michiganian and currently reside in Michigan. I grew up in Dearborn Michigan and graduated from high school in 1962. After marrying and having a family I worked as a bank teller for several years, took several basic college accounting courses, and then pursued a career in the insurance industry becoming a licensed insurance agent in Life, Health and Disability, Property and Casualty working for an independent insurance agency.

I retired in 1998 aw we were building our retirement home in northern Michigan. Unfortunately, my husband passed away suddenly in 2001 and never realized his dream.

I have two children and three grandchildren, all wonderful of course!

I am now in a committed relationship, he is a survivor of colon and pancreatic cancer and is currently being treated for prostate cancer and is doing well at this time. This has been quite a journey and we are grateful for each day.

My interest in being a board member would allow me to interact with the other foundation members, learn more about the foundation and help promote awareness of LMS which is a very important part of being involved along with fundraising activities.
