Upon graduating from high school I attended Wittenberg University where I received my teaching certificate. While attending Wittenberg I was active in Sigma Kappa sorority. I have continued to be active in the local Sigma Kappa alum group as well as serving as House Corporation Board President for the chapter House at Wittenberg. Upon graduating from college I married my cousin Robert Kuder. I taught 8th grade social studies for 5 years in the Berea City School District. I then spent 13 years at home with my children. During that time I became active in my church and PTA. when I returned to teaching I returned as a substitute teacher for 18 years. The last 9 were spent primarily at Ford Middle School where I was the one who came in for everyone who was pregnant. I retired in June, 2008. I am currently active in an International Key Women Educators group known as Delta Kappa Gamma. I am also active in a bridge group which appears to be a dying skill.
