I love the musicianship in the VSA and the joy of performing choral harmonies. Being part of this community has allowed me to form friendships that I deeply value.
I started singing with the chorus in December 2011, but my love for singing began much earlier with family sing-alongs on the way to church. In 2022, I took a brief break while my husband battled cancer.We moved from Tucson, AZ, to the area in 2007 after my husband retired.
I grew up in Isabel, SD, and worked as an accountant for 37 years, including as an office manager. My first job was at Glacier National Park, where I spent summers hiking— a passion of mine. After moving to Cedaredge, I worked remotely for my Arizona employer until retiring in 2016.
I've also sung with a college choral group, even performing in England, Scotland, and Wales during a 1977 choir tour for Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee.
Outside of music, I’ve enjoyed many adventures on my husband’s motorcycle, including a tour of the Alps in 2001. In my free time, I love gardening, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, games, and cross-stitch projects.
