“I was born in Szilágysomlyó (Transylvania) at the foot of the Magura Mountain, on the banks of the Kraszna River. I completed a degree as a pharmacy technician in Nagyvárad (Oradea, Transylvania, Romania). I worked there until 1978, when with our two children I emigrated to the United States, to McKeesport near Pittsburgh, PA, where my husband was a minister of the Reformed Church. I completed my studies for a Bachelor’s Degree in Pharmacy, in Ada, OH, where I was also awarded my Doctor of Pharmacy Degree. Trying to preserve my Transylvanian heritage in our home, I have surrounded myself with works of art from Transylvania. I have brought samples of these to the exhibition. My Mother, Mother-in-law and I, myself have prepared most of the needlework. I have collected the rest of them in Transylvanian villages.”
