College of Great Falls for two years then attended the University of Maryland while living in Fairfax, VA. No Degree.   I worked at NASA in Maryland until marriage.  We moved to Great Falls in 1967 after getting married and I worked as Assistant Director for McAuley Nursing Home.  Moved to Helena and worked for two internists and a pediatrician.  In 1971, we moved back to Chantilly, VA and managed a dental office for four years.  In 1975, we moved to Havre, MT and managed our motel and trailer court.  In 1978, we moved to Pullman, WA, and I taught computers and Human Resource subjects at Washington State University (WSU) for 19 years.  In 1997, I became Director of Valley Business in Lewiston, Idaho (still living in Pullman).  I moved to the Seattle area to be near children and grandchildren in 2002 and became Department Chair of Medical Office Assistant at Bryman College.  In 2006, I became the Department Chair of Medical Office Specialist for Kaplan College in Renton, WA.  I retired in November, 2012.

I also volunteered for Havre Jayceens.  In Pullman, I was a board member for two day care centers, the advocate for children’s needs in Pullman,  board member for Pullman United Way, and chair for the State Fund Drive at WSU. I was a board member and then President for 6 years of the Inland Empire Girl Scout Council in Spokane, and became a lifetime member of Girl Scouts of the USA. I was a national operational volunteer for GSUSA for five years.  I was chair of the Lewiston Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors and board member.

Last summer God sent an old friend who turned out to be the most wonderful man to me and we started talking.  Gary actually lived 300 miles from me so we knew God had to have arranged it.  Gary and I were married March 30, 2013 in a beautiful ceremony in Seattle with all my children and grandchildren and all of my brothers and my sister attending.
