A 1974 graduate of Delphos St. John High School, Polly completed her nursing degree at Lima Technical College.  She worked for a time at the Cleveland Clinic, but a majority of her career was spent at St. Rita’s Medical Center, before her retirement in January of 2017.  Since then, Polly enjoyed working part-time at Marimor School.  A member of St. Joseph Catholic Church, she was active as a lector and in the Stephen Ministry.  In her free time, Polly enjoyed keeping her hands busy.  Whether it be sewing, crocheting, or making a recipe in the kitchen, she loved to share the gifts of her talents with others.  Polly also spent quiet moments in prayer or reading her favorite books.
