Jasmine was born and raised in Astoria, Queens, New York City. She moved to Colorado Springs in 1983 and settled near her sister, Dr. De Waal’s wife, Merrilee.
With her lifelong love of animals, Jasmine adopted a cat, Cindy, and a dog, Nifty. They both lived good, long lives and passed away when they were very old.
Jasmine’s most recent addition is a cat named Skittles, who she adopted from the Humane Society. Skittles has a unique personality and provides Jasmine with many hours of companionship and enjoyment. Some of his playful antics include chasing his tail and playing with his toys.
