Ellen Serviss:  

Let's see now...... after HS I hung around the Willingboro area for a spell then started working in the garment industry at Burlington Coat Factory, promoted to a job in Phila then headed on down to Baltimore for a better job. I did some traveling to Europe for the company I worked for which was a blast. They paid. Then I married for the first time. My husband turned out to be a wife beater so after 5 weeks I left. After the divorce I drove cross country (took me 3 months). That had to be one of the best adventures of my life. I got to see things you can't even get near today. Once back from that trip I returned to NJ and another job in the garment industry.'' At 32 I started riding Enduros through the Pine Barrons. Amazing. Left the garment industry and went to work as a lineman (person) for NJ Bell. Stayed with them for 23 years, was lucky enough to get an early reitrement package and took off in a cloud of dust. To young to be retired I went into dog grooming and did that for 4 years. My mom came to live with me due to health reasons and after a year she asked me to quite my job and stay home with her. That was ok for a couple of years then she started to need more attention and could not be left alone. In the meantime I had gotten married for a second time and my husband came down with lung cancer. So I had him and my mom on Hspice. It wasn't pretty. My husband passed away in July 2007. Being a care giver can really suck. My brother, Ron, was living in AZ at the time and he would fly to NJ to give me a break from care giving...Expand for more
