I was born in Minnesota and after high school attended the Minneapolis Business College. In June 1968 John (Jack) and I married and moved to North Aurora in November 1968. (He passed away in April 2016). I worked 30 years for an in service law enforcement agency, retiring December 2015. We joined the former Union Congregational Church in the early 1980's. I have served on the Diaconate Board several times, attend Sunday School and have been active in Faith Guild. We have one daughter (who lives in Ft. Wayne with our son in law and 7 grandchildren).
Five of our grandsons (two in college ) were born in France and the 7 year old twins were adopted 5 years ago from Ethiopia.
