“I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. We moved to San Bernadino where I finished high school. I got my AA degree, became a secretary to the City Clerk and later took a job as secretary for a personal injury lawyer.
“I married a handsome Irishman who sadly passed away 25 years ago. After my husband’s passing, I went back to school at age 74 and earned a BA degree from CSUSB. I am proud of my great- grandfather Judge Heydenfeldt. He was an attorney in San Francisco and was elected a justice of the California Supreme Court in the 1850s.”
