Patricia's Story
After high school I studied Art Education at the Philadelphia College of Art (now U-Arts). Then I ran off to California and eventually took up living in West Virginia with my hippie boyfriend. I studied the Bible, married my boyfriend, and became one of Jehovah's Witnesses. My then-husband preferred drugs to me so he took off with another girl and I divorced him. Then I moved to Mississippi and Alabama as a domestic missionary (my term), and then studied at the Witness' Gilead School and was sent to Ecuador as a foreign missionary.

Language, and taught the Bible to deaf people. I returned to the U.S. in 1998 because my mother was alone and needed someone to look after her. I married one of the deaf men I knew and we both love painting whenever we can do it. We lived with my Mom in Woodlynne, NJ, in the same house in which I was raised...who knew? Very sadly, Mom died on July12, 2013, of colon cancer, 91 years of age. We miss her so very much. I was Director of Tutoring at Camden County College for nearly 20 years and I now am retired though I do adjunct teaching in English Comp. I and II at the college. I live in nearby Pine Hill, NJ.
