I am a Life member of Auxiliary 9399 in Apache Junction, District 10.  I joined the Auxiliary 18 years ago under the eligibility of my husband, Frenchie, who is a Vietnam veteran.  My father was also a veteran having served in Normandy during D-Day.

On the Auxiliary and District level, I have held the office of Sr. Vice and Trustee and held the position of Auxiliary President at Auxiliary 9399 for 4 years, during which we won the Circle of Excellence each year.  I am presently a Trustee.   I have been the Department Buddy Poppy/National Home Chairman for two years with a National Citation, Veteran and Family Support Chairman, Americanism Chairman and am presently the Hospital Chairman for the Department of Arizona. 

My husband and I have two children, 7 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.
