Betty's Story

My name WAS Betty Smith. I married Airman 1st Class Joe Danko in 1966. I guess you could say that getting married was my way of getting out of having to finish school. I hated school. Anyway, we moved to Toledo, Ohio, where he was from originally. In 1969 we had our 1st son. In 1974 we had our last son. In Feb. of 1988 we got divorced after 21 years of marriage. Again, not very smart, but, without a doubt, very loyal! I met & fell in love with my husband, Eddie Garcia, in 1989. We were married in Nov. of 2002, just 16 months after my youngest son was murdered during a Radio Shack robbery in Georgia that went horribly wrong. I think the only reason I finally broke down & married Eddie after being with him all those years, is because my son, Matthew, used to ask me every time we talked on the phone if Eddie & I were finally getting married. I'd tell him that you can't rush into marriage. I need to be sure this time! ;) Anyway, between Eddie & I, we have 15 grandchildren. My son, Joe Danko, in FL. gave us 2 grandsons & a granddaughter. Eddie' oldest daughter in Va. gave us 3 grandsons & a granddaughter. His yougest daughter in Zanesvi...Expand for more
lle, OH gave us a grandson & our youngest son here in Toledo has given us 4 grandsons, 2 step-grandsons & a step-granddaughter. Our oldest son has given us 2 granddaughters. I am here to say...I might have opted for a GED for my education, but, I don't regret it a bit. I worked at the Medical College of Ohio as a Certified Health Unit Coordinator for over 20 years in 4 different departments (Oncology Unit, Rehab Unit, Child & Adult Psych & Clinics & Adult Neurology Clinic) & loved the fast pace of each dept. & the duties they demanded. I am retired now & enjoying the most awesome, intelligent, gorgeous grandchildren a woman could ask for! They all think their grandma is the smartest, most hugging grandma in the world! Doesn't get any better than that, unless it's having them all in the same place at the same time (wishful thinking!). Anyway, I have come a super long way since those days at Knob Noster High. I've got the best husband a woman could have. I've got the most fantastic grandchildren a woman can have. AND I have Christ right in the center of my heart & my life! Thanks for letting me tell you about the me that I have become. :]
