I was educated in Catholic schools most of my elementary years and high school years. I entered the convent of the Notre Dame Sisters in Toledo, Ohio on September 8, 1964 and remained there for six years. It was during those years there that I grew in my faith and worked on receiving my bachelor’s degree in education at Mary Manse College.
At the age of twenty-eight I got married and had my son, Chad. Ten years later I became a single mom. While raising my son I earned a Master’s degree in education at the University of Toledo while I was also fulfilling the job of
being the principal of a Catholic school.
When my son was twenty-one he was killed in a head-on auto accident. It was during that time of intense grieving that I had no one to turn to except the Good God above. I have come to realize that God lends us His children
and that they are ultimately His. I thank God each day for the gift of my son for the twenty-one years we had together. I know now that my son is at peace and happy with God. I look forward to the day he and I will both be with
God forever.
I was a teacher in Catholic schools for thirty-eight years. I taught grades five to eight most of those years. I am now retired from active teaching, but am not retired from actively making a difference.view less
