I was born in Lewes, Sussex, England, where I grew up and married.

In 1987, I arrived in Santa Cruz, No. California for a 4 month trip where I met my present husband Ken. Between us we have 3 children and 5 grandchildren.

In 1991, I became a founding member of Copperfield Chapter and later a founding member of Cotswold Chapter. I held the position of Regent several times in both chapters.

In December 1991, I was elected to serve as Organizer on the State Board.  I have also held the positions of State President and 1st Vice President.  I am presently serving my first term as 1st Vice President.
