I have lived in the Continental Ranch area of Tucson for over 5 years. I moved here from Texas where I was an elementary school teacher for over 27 years, wife, mom, grandmother, homemaker. Taught Sunday School in my church as well as being the church pianist.I served as the president, as well as other offices, on the Oldham County Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture Board of Directors.
I moved to Arizona because one of my five sons, who was serving in the Air Force, was transfered here and invited me to come live with his family for a while. I had been widowed, sold my home, and had retired from teaching.
Because of the move here I decided to become a Realtor and start another career.
As a Realtor I have earned the Graduate Realtor Institute designation, Accredited Buyers Representative designation and the Certified Negotiators designation.
I serve on the Tucson Association of Realtor’s Educational Housing Opportunities Committee. I was elected to serve on the Continental Ranch HOA board of directors where I also serve on the Architectural Review Committee.
My husband, John Occhi, is licensed to sell real estate in California. He is a great mentor.
He and I found each other online after I came to Tucson. We share many similarities. He too was widowed and loves to travel. I discovered it was easier if I just kept my maiden name instead of adding his professionally to mine.
We attend church at Calvary Christian Fellowship and were very blessed as we went on a church sponsored trip to tour Israel. It was a trip of a lifetime.
I appreciate your time in reading about me. I would like to know about you! Let’s get together soon!
