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.

Limpopo Province South Africa 2016


We have been visiting Africa and Mexico for many years bringing supplies, clothing, food and hope to orphans and villagers.  This year's Africa trip we decided to do something different.  We loaded Easter eggs with money and candy and held a good old fashioned Easter Egg Hunt!  Everyone had so much fun.  The kids told us that they are going to use the money to buy school supplies, shoes and clothes.  Volunteering and helping others is such a rewarding experience.  Knowing that what we do really does make a difference makes our job of providing for those who can't provide for themselves so much sweeter.  I miss Africa and the people already.
