Kathy’s Bio

Prior to continuing my education, I worked as a nurses aid, cashier, unemployment claims taker and office assistant. My education was in Deaf Ed. I earned a BS. I also earned a Master’s in Exucational administration. I taught/ supervised for 23 years. I have been retired 7 years now. I was a widow for 2 years. I remarried in 2018. I worship at Church on the Rock. My desire is to work 15 to 20 hours a week. Between my husband and me, we have 4 Schi Tzus. We began a ministry for the seniors in our congregation shortly before the pandemic. Our progress is temporarily on hold. Once we’re in the new building we hope to see clearly how to proceed.
