Life After Oberlin
I received an M.A. in Actuarial Mathematics in 1974 from the University of Michigan. I worked for CNA Insurance from 1974 to 1989. I married James Uzzell in 1975. I became a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries in 1983. I worked for Anthem Insurance from 1996 to 2015. We have lived in Evanston, IL since 1985. I learned sign language after our second son David as found to be Deaf. My attitude about disabilities has evolved quite a bit. Using sign language helped me accept my own disabilities more completely. For years I have taught Disability Awareness programs in my community.
I am a member of Vineyard Christian Church of Evanston and the Evanston Sunrise Lions Club. I have been a leader in Boy Scouts of America for over 20 years; I was given the Silver Beaver Award in 2017. I serve on the board of Center for Independent Futures, which promotes full lines for adults living with disability.
