A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF:  I was born in Detroit Michigan and raised in Dearborn Michigan.  I moved to northern Michigan in 1970 and to southern Alabama in 1998.  My work back round has always been accounts payable or receivable.  I have worked for an Underground Construction Co, United Parcel, Simmons Beautyrest, and Alden State Bank.  I worked for the bank for 20 years, until I moved to Alabama.  I started as a teller, I did collections, and I ran the credit and debit department. I was in charge of the credit/debit department when I left. 

You can read my LMS History on the Survivor Member page.  I moved to Alabama in April 1998 and was diagnosed with LMS in May of 1999.  It has been a roller coaster ride.  I am thrilled to be a board member of  the National LeioMyoSarcoma Foundation, in hopes of being able to help others who are less fortunate than I.  Since my surgery I have not had a reoccurrence. 

My family consist of my husband, Doug, my daughters Laurie, in Michigan, and Cindy in Florida, and Ryan in Alabama with me.  I have four granddaughters and two great granddaughters, and 2 1/2 and 3 1/2

I am the new assistant treasurer and will be putting all of the foundation books into the computer.  Lori Hoag will be leaving the treasurer position in Dec. of this year, and I will take the job over at that time. We now have a finance committee consisting of five directors, that will all work together to help make the foundation run smoother and more efficiently.
