Dr. Mary Ann (Pemberton) Gilbreth My life began on November 4, 1951 born to Warren and Louise (Dunbar) Pemberton. I am proud to say I am Native American, Chippewa. I am the oldest of 8 children. I am also first generation to complete college. I married my high school sweetheart, Glen on April 23, 1972. I am the mother of 2 beautiful daughters, Kelly & Colleen. Grandmother (Gigi) to Garrett & Grayson. My passions have always been teaching and education. My love of school and learning has kept me in education. My career encompasses being a teacher, principal, and university professor. Most recently I finished my practicum and became a Spiritual Director. I have started writing a series of books. Each one has a unique title connecting words to help you. These books have allowed me to compile all of my favorite quotes, proverbs, prayers, and inspirational writings to share with others. I hope you enjoy reading my series of books.
