She met the love of her life, Herman Burghard Jr. on a blind date in Houston, Texas when she was visiting her Uncle, Fr.

Dru and Herman were founding members of St. Matthew’s Catholic Church in San Antonio, Texas, as well as founders of the church’s St. Vincent DePaul Society ministry.

Her generosity was born of experience. At 13, she began working as a Bell telephone operator in Philadelphia to help support her family.
