After graduation I went off to nursing school in Bayonne, NJ.

I married my school sweetheart Charlie, and received my RN.

We were married in May of 1961.  Moved to New Paltz, NY, we have lived here ever since.  We have been married for 47 years.

We have nine children:  Peggy, Laura, Lisa, Tony, Jenny, Missy, Rachael, Jacob and Robert. We are the proud grandparents of 19 grandchildren - 10 grandsons and 9 granddaughters; we are also great-grandparents to 2 great-granddaughters.

I have been a RN supervisor for the last 35 years for the nursing home I’m still working at.
