Three girls and two boys, the first in order of birth is Eugenia—that’s me— then Clement, Vivian, Vilma, and Virginia.
After the death of my parents, I went to live with my godmother until I was able to take care of myself. I was brought up a staunch catholic and attended a convent school from the age of five to fifteen. I taught at the school I attended for five years after leaving school.
I have four children, two girls and two boys, and five grandchildren, one boy and four girls. I got married in 1969 and travelled to England the same year, spending all my days in London.
I worked at various employments to make ends meet. My main job was working at Export Credits Guarantee Department and retired after twenty-one years in 2000 at age fifty-nine. Now I am enjoying my retirement and my family.
For ten years, I did missionary work, visiting different parts of the country with the Sion Community, doing missions one week a year. This I found very rewarding, but due to aches and pains in my back and leg, I had to stop.
I love life and enjoy a good times, meeting people, and just having fun with friends and family on a regular basis. I value family life and friendship of which I have many.view less
