Holly's Story
Well, let's see.... out of high school I went to work for Wanamaker's Dept. store and worked in retail sales (china dept). From there I went to work for a private ambulance company and became an EMT. Not many female ambulance attendants back in those days. After awhile I decided to go to school to become a cosmetologist (hairdresser). Worked in a salon for about 2 years and then became an educator for Paul Mitchell (the hair product company). I traveled around the country doing hairshows, classes and photoshoots for them for about 8 years. Also ran my own hair salon business during the last part of those times and for a few years after I left Paul Mitchell.
Was married to Tom Rizzo (class of 1981) for seven years. We did not have any children together. We divorced and I am now married to Bill Chaffee. We have been married for 20 years and we have two children together and I have three stepchildren whom we also have 7 grandchildren from now.
After I had my son Phillip, I decided to stay home to raise him, so I left the hair...Expand for more
business. Two years later our daughter Sarah was born. When Phillip was old enough for Kindergarten, we decided to homeschool. We homeschooled our two children until the end of Phillip's 7th grade year and Sarah's 5th grade year. Sarah is in her senior year there this year. (2013) Phillip graduated a year ago and attended The King's College in Manhattan, NY for one year. He is now home working at Newark Toyota World. He enjoys it there, but may decide to go to U of D next year.
For the last five years, I have worked at Tall Oaks Classical School. I currently work as a teacher's aide for second grade and am the supervisor for the upper school aftercare program.
We have been through much as a family. Both of my husband's parents have passed away. My father has passed away. My husband Bill has had heart surgery and throat cancer. We are Christians and are thankful to the Lord for His strength,provision, peace and believe it or not joy, through it all.
Thank you for reading my story and I hope to hear from whomever has!
