Bio Coming Soon.

I was born and raised in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, Pa. I moved to Texas in September of 2000. Having spent 17 years in the corporate world and never feeling satisfied, I decided to follow my dream of becoming a funeral director/embalmer. At age 45, I enrolled in Commonwealth Institute of Funeral Services and became a member of the National Funeral Service honor roll, as well as a certified crematory operator, and upon graduation, finally a licensed funeral director and embalmer. Many people have asked me why I would start my life over at such a late time in life? Why would I ever want to be a funeral director? The answer is simple, it has always been my calling. At an incredibly young age, I lost someone remarkably close to me and it was the funeral director and embalmer who showed me so much compassion, gave me the strength to get through my grief, and if I can help a family in the same way they helped me, that brings me such joy. When I am not with the families I serve, I am with my other passions in life. Those are my two daughters, Megan and Jaden, and grandchildren, Aiden and Willow. I am grateful, I am blessed.
