A former kindergarten teacher and mother of five, she worked full time for over 20 years as a guardianship assistant for an elder-care and estate planning attorney. She reluctantly retired at the age of 86, but continues her work advocating for battered and incarcerated women, and attends monthly L.I.F.E Group meetings at the Ohio Reformatory for Women.In addition to her work with battered women, raising five kids, and having a full-time job, Sammy volunteered in the Child Life Department at Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital for nearly 30 years. Her commitment to volunteer work has been recognized with numerous volunteer service awards, and by the fact that when she enters the room at the monthly L.I.F.E. Group meeting, her “sisters” stand and cheer. Her dedication, compassion and love for the women she has worked with has been passed down to her children and grandchildren.view less
