Kathy Gallagher's Story

Life After graduating from Santa Fe I went to work as a telephone operator at GTE. My Mom passed away in 1966 so I left Lakeland. I moved around quite a bit, trying to find myself. I wound up in Daytona Beach and there I met my husband of 18 years,Johnnie. We were married at St. Paul's Cathedral in Daytona and later had 2 children. Johnnie III, is 40, he's married and lives just outside Charlotte, NC. He is an independent construction contractor for a well known cellular tower company . My youngest son is 36 and lives in Lakeland. He works at Pepperidge Farm and has for the last 6 - 7 years. He is married also. He enjoys his work and loves his computer. He got designated to be the son to look after Mom. He does a great job. My ex-husband and I remain close friends. While I was still married and the children were in school,I went to college to become a R.N. This is what I had always planned to do if everything hadn't happened the way it did. I graduated from Valencia Community College in 1983 with my AS Degree in Nursing. I have been working ever since. I moved back to Lakeland, from Orlando,when I divorced in 1985. I was recruited into Oncology Nursing at that time. I really did...Expand for more
n't think I would like it but I've been an Oncology nurse for 25 + years. I worked in Chemotherapy for 4 of those years but the rest have been in Radiation Therapy where I found my niche' until I went into research 7 years ago. I work at one of Lakeland's 2 cancer centers. The patients are wonderful and I find all kinds of joy in caring for them and their families. I am active in the Oncology Nursing Society. I learn something new every day.This is something I have aspired to since Nursing School.. I am hoping to retire in about 5-6 years unless I win the lottery, then of course it will be a lot sooner. All in all, life is good. I continue to go to St. Joseph's Church, the church I grew up in. I have 2 dogs both are rescues. They are a bit on the large side. They take good care of "Mom". I have 4 grandchildren I rarely get to see. The boys are Conor, 19 yrs old; Derek, nearly 17; Haidyn Mae, ,my sweet granddaughter is 10 since August & Lola Grae who is now 4, since September. I love my family whith all my heart. Since writing this I am now in early retirement and looking for a job. I am looking for something (God willing) in which I can put all my compassion and caring to good use.
