I was born and grew up in Aurora, married my husband Tom and we bought a house in North Aurora. We had two children Craig and Sarah, who married Scott and now we have two grandchildren Jake and Grace. We make frequent trips to Ohio to visit them. I worked for twenty years at Farmers Insurance in customer service. We joined Union Church in 1979. I have served on all the boards, currently on the deacon board, as well as facilitating the Ladies Bible Study and Faith Guild group, sing in the choir, quilt with the Tuesday group of ladies, help in the nursery and with sports camp. I enjoy classes with Lifelong Learning, reading, walking and biking. I'm very excited about the possibilities for Living Hope Church and the outreach it can have on the surrounding community.
