I am a retired Wilmington elementary teacher, having taught at Pulaski Elementary for 23 years. I've been married 48 years to Chuck, we have 3 children, Natalie, Justin, (and Tiffany in Heaven) and one grandchild, Kinley.

I was raised Catholic in New Castle and attended  parochial elementary school.  It wasn't until I became a member of this church, almost 50 years ago, that I began my personal relationship with Jesus Christ as my Savior. Becoming involved in Sunday school and Women's Circle was vital to my Christian growth here.

My faith has helped me through the brutal pain of our daughter Tiffany's sudden passing in 2021, at age 40, from an undetermined cause.  Although still shattering to us, this tragedy has gradually strenthened my family's faith, knowing we will thankfully be with her again one day in heaven. God has given us many opportunities to spread acts of kindness now in her name, which also helps to heal our hearts. Losing both of my parents and Tiffany all within 4 years, and then beloved nephew Chad just last year, has all tested my faith, but I resolve to put my total trust in God's mysterious ways.
