Personal Note:

I grew up in Canton, Ohio  and attended McKinley High School.  I’ve been married to my husband Robert for 14 years.  We have three children, Elizabeth, Gwenyth and Theresa.  We’ve lived in the area and been parishioners at Holy Cross for more than almost 10 years.  I enjoy teaching religious education and VBS for Holy Cross. I am a Chicago (as well as NE Ohio – Go CAVs!) sports fan and enjoy attending all my children, nieces and nephews’ sporting events and activities.
