I met my husband, Steve, in college (Ashland College) -- we were married in 1968. We bought a house in Bay Village. I worked at a law firm for 8 years and then at an advertising agency for 10 years. I then ran my own graphics business until 1990. My parents lived in Las Vegas and when my mom passed away in 1990, we sold our house and moved to Vegas so my dad wouldn't be by himself. We bought a house out here in 2000. I worked at several law firms, then as Contracts Administrator at the Venetian Hotel and finally at the Review-Journal (our local newspaper) and retired in 2011. My husband proudly served in Vietnam and was a 100% service-connected disabled veteran. Dealing with his health issues from Agent Orange and his combat PTSD has been a full-time job in itself! We were married almost 49 years when Steve passed away over Memorial Day weekend 2017 from Pancreatic Cancer from being in Vietnam. I miss my friends and family in Ohio, but I love waking up every morning to sunny days!
