About Me

Was born in Texas, raised in Florida. I love reading and doing things with my husband. In September we will be married 25 years (second time around for both of us). I have 3 boys, 3 girls (though I lost one of my girls in 2004) and 2 adorable kitties. I am 56 years old (young?) and really enjoy life. I like waking up in the morning on the right side of the grass. In November of 2006 I retired from Pratt & Whitney after 30 years (in the same department). Worked for Belcan Corp. in Palm Beach Gardens Florida. Am now working in a new field. I am employed as a Branch Office Administrator with Edward Jones. It is a very interesting and challenging job. EJ is a really good company to work for. I love life!!.. Benita Rippeon's Profile

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would really love to meet Julia Roberts. She is just such an awesome actor. All that I have seen of her in the news, she seems to be a really down to earth person and an everyday gal. I would also like to meet Mariska Hargitay. She is doing great works with her organization in helping the abused. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

Time Helps to Heal

Today has been a hard day.  Three years ago today my daughter Cathy was murdered by her estranged husband.  His reason - $29,000 life insurance.  Because of that he took my daughter awa...

Getting Along

I sure do miss having my youngest daughter being with us.  We moved back to Florida after 6 1/2 years in Connecticut and she liked it up there so she stayed.  It was her first time on her on...
