In 1987, a seed was planted. In the heart of a young girl, a deep, abiding passion to help others took root. It was a calling that arrived with more questions than answers. How does one best fulfill such a purpose? How can a single life truly ease the vastness of human suffering?
With the quiet wisdom that often guides the most compassionate souls, she found her answer. Not in grand gestures, but in profound presence. She realized her greatest impact would be made in the sacred space of human vulnerability—by comforting the anxious, healing the wounded, and educating those in need during their lowest moments.
The question remained: how?
The path revealed itself with beautiful clarity: through nursing. It would be her vessel, her language of love, her toolkit for change.
And so, in that year so many years ago, her journey began. A journey that started with the gentle hold of a hand, the careful administration of care, and the unwavering watch through the night. It was a journey built not just on skill, but on an extraordinary empathy that saw the person beyond the patient.
From those first steps, her impact rippled outward. Countless lives have been touched by her kindness. Many have been healed, body and spirit, under her attentive care. With a generous heart, she lifted others up, training and mentoring thousands of nurses, passing on not just knowledge, but the very essence of compassionate service.
Her dedication, a steady flame all these years, naturally led her to the esteemed role of Director of Nursing Services at CCTH. Here, her vision of care expands, shaping an environment where healing and dignity are paramount. She leads not from a distance, but from a place of knowing, because she has been there—in the quiet of the hospital room, in the urgency of crisis, in the tender moments of human connection.
Today, as we celebrate your birthday, we pause to honor so much more than the passing of a year. We celebrate the lifetime of service you have gifted to the world. We celebrate the little girl who wondered how to help, and the remarkable leader she became.

May God bless you abundantly on this birthday and always. May He replenish your spirit with the same kindness you pour out so freely. Thank you for your dedication, your service, and the good works you continue to do. Your legacy is written in the peace you have offered and the healing you have fostered.
