Growing up during the Depression years, financially, going to college was never an option for me. I graduated from High School and I have always believed in educating my self as I grew older. My husband Leo and I had known each other as youngsters. After his discharge from the Navy, he looked me up and we fell in love and married in 1947. We raised a family of 10 children and lived in Fairhaven, Massachusetts for over 40 years. After my family had grown, I worked many years in the Medical Records field When my husband and I retired, we decided to move to the Paradise state of Florida to spend the rest of our lives. My husband passed on in 2012. I keep busy writing, drawing, and oil painting. My children are all adults now and some have passed on, but I am fortunate to have had their support in all my endeavors. I have been truly blessed!
