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.







A Taste of Italy Fundraiser in Bailey Colorado

I had the distinctive pleasure of being the Guest Speaker of the annual fundraiser!  After talking to the crowd about the International Pageant System and my platform of Orphan Awareness, we all enjoyed a feast, Italian style!  The silent auction which was held throughout the event, was a definite hit.  My family and I bid on items up for auction and were successful in being the highest bidder on two cherished keepsakes. 

This was the 10th year the fundraiser was held for Peaceworks and Mountain Peace Shelter.  These organizations work hand in hand providing solutions to domestic violence.  Denise Patrick (pictured), is an avid volunteer for multiple organizations and I am proud to work with her.  Thank you to the entire staff, volunteers, donators and band that all made this a successful event.
