She moved with her family to Folsom, California in 1963. After a number of years in private industry, she went to work for the State of California and became the California Department of Transportations expert on the Title VI Program. She played a lead role in developing and implementing non-discrimination guidelines for the state. As a result the Federal Government recognizes California as the leader in Title VI implementation and has used it as a model for other states.

She had been thinking for sometime about passing on a legacy to her family. She had already outlined her way to comfort, fullness and security in life, peace, contentment and happiness. The sudden and unexpected death of her son made her realize that she needed to pass on to her family the significance of faith. She is passing on true responses to prayer. She is a witness to God always giving you a response when you pray in faith, but not always giving you what you ask for.



She resides in her home on Castle Oaks Golf Course in Ione, California, with her loving husband, Chester (Skip) and her precious dog, Gioia.
