I am a wife, mother and a proud grandmother of 9. I enjoyed a career in financial management (branch level) at commercial banks and then a credit union. A year and a half ago I started a second career as an office manager at our local weekly newspaper with a widely viewed website as well. I enjoy reading, cooking, gardening and travel. We have a great group of friends and I enjoy community activities. For the last 18 months we have been somewhat home bound due to my husband being in ill health and helping care for one of our granddaughters in treatment for leukemia.
