I was born in Chicago but moved to Addison with my family in 1966. I attended public schools, graduated from Addison Trail High School and attended Northern Illinois University. Ron and I were married in 1980 and we have one daughter, Kristen. Kristen was married at St. Peter Damian to Michael, and they have two kids, Dominic & Giavanna. My family has lived in Bartlett and been members of St. Peter Damian since 1987. We lost Ron in 2018. I have been the Ministry leader for altar servers since 2001 and joined the staff at St. Peter Damian in 2010.
