My first husband, Jim Cloutier, died of liver failure. I moved to AZ to start a new life in 1972. I legally changed my first name from Virginia to Jenny, always disliked that name and having a nickname. Remarried 1977 to a nurse I met at work, he is a retired nurse, was a manager of a Dialysis at Home facility in Scottsdale. After high school I went to nurses training at St. Luke's Hosp in Duluth, then married and moved to Cloquet until 1972. While in AZ I went back and obtain a BSN degree at AZ state Univ. I have held various nursing positions throughout my career. I have been in nephrology since 1976, started in dialysis first, then went to ICU, then nephrology floor and since 1985 have been a kidney and pancreas transplant coordinator. I retired at age 75, June 2017, loved my job and ended up being the interim manager of the kidney transplant program at Banner Univ. Medical Center.
We travel internationally a lot.

I remember most Ms McIntyre and her English class where she talked about taking a cruise for a vacation. She taught us to aspire for things in life that we may have thoguht were out of our reach. I thought of her the first time I took a cruise.
