Melissa Walden-Baker

My Grandmother Patsy Trainor Walden trained to be a Cadet Nurse in Tempe, Arizona. My favorite story of her was that she would hide in the closet with a flashlight at night so she could study. She moved to Farmington, NM in the 50's and was a nurse for a local doctor. Later when she and her husband Earl were sent to the Reservation in AZ for work in oilfield, she served as the Camp Nurse for the housing units for El Paso. She was born October 30, 1927 and passed away March 20,1972.
