You’ll laugh and you’ll cry when you hear what she has accomplished, what she’s learned, and how and why she survived some very tough years; beginning with her husband’s unexpected death, to caring for her aging parents and raising a lovely daughter alone. She encourages others to stay positive and never give up because “It ‘ain’t’ over til it’s over!”
Her book, “Green Bay Love Stories,” has been acknowledged as a significant historical account of the Packers Glory Years and the foreword is written by Packers Hall of Fame great, Paul Hornung.
She’ll tell a wild survival story which starts with working for Vince Lombardi and the Packers in the ‘60’s and how that time influenced her life and it ends with a run for WI Secretary of State.
