She was born and raised in Millbury, MA in a section of town called Bramanville. She was happily married to Bruce Cambridge for 23 short years and spent a year and a half with him in Munich, Germany when his Medical Battalion was called up during the Korean War. She was widowed at age 49 and planned to retire at age 65, but finally found her niche in sales in the hospitality industry. She has lived in VA, FL, CA & HI and travelled extensively after her husband died in 1973. She finally retired at age 85 and immediately started to write her memoir while her memory was still vivid and intact.
She has written much poetry throughout her life and had hoped to study journalism when she finished high school. She was unable to go to college due to family responsibilities and became a secretary. She received many rewards in high school for her writing and was encouraged by some teachers to pursue a writing career. Unforeseen circumstances kept her from doing this, but she hopes others finally will enjoy her memoirview less
