LPN, Aristocrat, Naples
“I grew up on a farm in Ohio. I milked cows and cleaned hog floors. I would tell my dad what I wanted to do when I grew up and he would remind me that ‘a woman’s place is in the home’. My grandfather taught me how to weld, take tractors apart and put them back together. I married my husband at age eighteen and had ten children. I graduated from Ohio State and worked as a processing engineer for twenty-five years. My factory closed down. I went back to college at age forty-seven to become a nurse, an LPN, and graduated number one in my class. I now work at the Aristocrat in Naples.
