She graduated from Red Cloud High School in 1969 in Red Cloud, NE, and University of Nebraska in 1973 with BA in Social Work and Psychology.

When inclement weather causes school closings, SCR cancels its Meals on Wheels service. This means our Meals on Wheels clients do not receive the daily meal they come to expect. WEBs provide Meals on Wheels clients with a small, shelf-stable emergency food supply of adequate nutrition for up to three days. Thank you IYM for your continued support!
Raytown Rotary has granted $250 in support of the Meals on Wheels Love Fund. The Love Fund is a reserve fund to assist persons in need of short-term nutritional assistance due to financial hardship. Generally, the Love Fund receives minimal support through donations and memorials. Due to the current economy and budget cuts for subsidized meal programs, Meals on Wheels has more requests than the fund can fulfill. Thank you Raytown Rotarians for supporting those in need!
