AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, SHE STARTED OUT WORKING AS A RECEPTIONIST FOR KAISER. SHE REALLY ENJOYED THE MEDICAL FIELD. SHE EVEN WENT ON TO SCHOOL FOR ‘ULTRA SOUND TECHNICIAN.’ THIS PAVED THE WAY FOR HER WORKING AS A SCHEDULER IN THE RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT AT A HOSPITAL IN SAN CLEMENTE.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO SHE MOVED TO SAN CLEMENTE AND RECENTLY RETURNED TO LIVE IN LAGUNA HILLS, CA.

SHE PORTRAYED HER OWN SPECIAL FASHION EVEN BEFORE IT WAS IN STYLE. SHE WAS A LOVING AND ‘TEASABLE’ DAUGHTER; A FUN FILLED SISTER; A SPECIAL AND CARING SOULMATE; AND AN ADORING, LOVABLE GRANDDAUGHTER.

SHE LOVED TO SHOP! SHE DIDN’T SPEND A LOT, BUT IF SHE HAD THE TIME, SHE WOULD SHOP EVERY DAY. SHE ENJOYED READING BOOKS, MOSTLY THE THRILLER, MYSTERY TYPE. SHE LOVED TO SPEND HER EVENINGS WATCHING MOVIES OR ALSO GOING OUT TO THE MOVIES WITH SHANNON. ONE OF HER FAVORITE THINGS TO DO WAS TO GO OUT TO DINNER WITH ALL THE FAMILY. SHE HAD LOTS OF FUN VISITING LAS VEGAS AND ALSO, THIS PAST YEAR, SHE AND SHANNON HAD A PASS TO THE SAN DIEGO ZOO AND WENT AS OFTEN AS THEY COULD.
