The oldest daughter of eight children, born in Knoxville, Tennessee. The number was four when we were transplanted to Lincoln Heights, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, at an early age. My formative school years were spent at St. Martin de Porres, a Catholic grade school. While enrolled at St. Martin De Porres, I learned more about the wrath of nuns as oppose to the mercy and grace of God. I attended Princeton High School, where I temporarily retired my uniform and undeveloped angelic wings for an invisible tail and jeans. I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 1973 obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree. Here I received my exposure and broadened view of religion and began my search for a more intimate walk and quest for the knowledge of who God really was. It wasn"t until I was graying gracefully, ready for retirement and approaching my sunset years, that I came into the full knowledge of God"s greatness and what all He had sacrificed for me and our relationship.
