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.





Salvation Army Luncheon, Evergreen CO
Being the keynote speaker for this luncheon was an experience I will never forget.  I met so many wonderful people!  After signing autographs and having lunch, I spoke to the group about Orphan Awareness, Give 2 Orphan Kids and the International Pageant System.  I was then able to meet with members of the group and hear some of their stories.........wow.  Taking the time to hear where other people have been can be so enlightening.  There was even one lady there who is 99 years old!  I felt so blessed that these people wanted to share a piece of their life stories with me.  One couple had known each other since they were 11 years old,  3 other couples have been married over 55 years, there were former fighter pilots and even a former Yankees ball player!  I would like to thank everyone involved for having me out to this appearance, the pleasure was mine (A special thanks to Yvonne for her individual efforts.)
