I am a retired nurse of 33 years. I worked in many areas of nursing during my career. I was a home health and hospice nurse, wound care nurse, and infection control nurse. I also managed a rehab center and an assisted living center. I worked as a family nurse for JPS before having to retire to due to worsening health issues.

Although I have no formal training in music/voice, I love to sing. My grandmother put me in front of the church at the age of 6 to sing my first solo and I have been singing ever since. My voice is not what it use to be but I still enjoy singing some good old gospel.

I was born and raised in Louisiana. I believe there are no better people than the ones from Da Boot. And let's not forget about the good ole Cajun and Creole cuisine. My family is Creole with a splash of Cherokee Indian. (and I am also the child of a Mexican father). Just call me Heinz 57.

I love to dance!!!!!!! It keeps you young. No, I can't dance like Beyonce. I love to line dance and swing out dance. I taught line dance and I also assisted my husband with teaching swingout dancing. We no longer teach dance due to declining health, but we still go out to dance occasionally and I am still active in line dance classes and an active member of a line dance group.

I have been living and thriving with lupus for many years. I was diagnosed in 2006. I have a saying that I tell myself every day, I HAVE LUPUS, BUT IT DON'T HAVE ME.....AND IT NEVER WILL. I enjoy life and I live every day as if it's my last.

I have 6 children (3 blood and 3 bonus)

Together, my husband and I have 17 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. We also have 2 grandchildren who are now angels. Deuce lived only 3 days, he would've been 8 years old this year and Alexcia died of a Fentanyl overdose 2 years ago, she would've been 25 years old this year. Family means everything to me. I love spending time with my family and making memories.

Christ bore our sins, and by His stripes, we are healed.

God has brought me through so many things. I have been at death's door 3 times, but God said not today, Satan. The most recent was in 2020 when I contracted Covid. I got COVID when it was still new. They did not know how to treat it, and a vaccine hadn't been developed yet. I was on the ventilator for a week. But by God's Grace and His amazing healing powers, I came through it. A month and a half later I had to go to Louisiana to sign my mom on hospice. She died 3 days later, the day before Mother's Day. But Thank God, I made it!!!!
