I started work at OSLC in August of 2007.  My former employment was as a para at Park River Elementary and before that, a CNA at Good Sam.

I grew up in Grafton and married Dennis, of Park River, in August, 1971.  I was a stay-at-home mom for 20+ years, raising our 6 children,

Jess, Jason, Jon, Joe, Jenna & Jasmine. 

We also have 6 grandchildren, with another one on the way.

I enjoy my job at OSLC and all the people I am able to come in contact with over the course of my work.

Some of the things I enjoy:  FOOD, flowers, music, FOOD, reading, remodeling, and did I mention FOOD?!!

Have a Great Day and Enjoy God’s Many Blessings!
