Mrs. Springfield USOA 2021. Be the change, be a volunteer has been a lifelong passion of mine . Having been born an orphan back in the 60’s, I went through foster care as well as the adoption process here in the United States. Though I felt as an outsider looking in most of my life since I was placed with a family who had biologically born children in the family, I nevertheless, feel blessed that I had a roof over my head and food to eat. Having a family of my own is of high importance to me. Being able to overcome the diagnosis of infertility due to cancer cells within my reproductive organs, my husband Bruce and I were ecstatic to welcome the birth of our daughter in 2006. Feeling as if my life is bountiful I give back to others by serving as a volunteer for numerous organizations and helping orphans in need. We have personally provided and delivered care packages and supplies to orphans in Mexico and Africa. I feel that providing personal attention in the form of a party for the orphans is integral to providing hope for children to see that others do care. I am thrilled to be married to the man of my dreams, a mother to my miracle child and the referee to our two black labs.

Having volunteered for Soldier's Angels and McGuire Veteran Hospital for years, Veteran's Day holds a huge place in my heart.  My family went with me to Nebraska to honor this day and the men and women who have served countless hours defending our country.  Listening to stories of yesteryear through the eyes of a veteran really takes you into the experience and gives you an even higher appreciation for our military.  Thank you all for sharing your stories and time with us.  God bless you all and thank you for your service.
