Personal Information

I was born and raised in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. Moved to Texas in 1976 as a new nursing graduate. Lived in small town of Clifton until 2004 when I moved to Waco. I have a dog named Teddy who runs my home. I enjoy working in my yard and in the garden in my spare time. I enjoy reading a good book and seeing a good movie. I enjoy all kinds of music except for rap and hip hop. I attend church and Sunday school. I sing in the choir and I am Sunday School Superintendent. I enjoy teaching and working with nursing students and feel that I am giving back to the nursing profession what it has given me.
