ragnhild munck

Raghild Munck was educated in Copenhagen and London, studying English and Sociology. A multi-talented lady she introduced Golden Retrievers to Denmark from England and saw the breed become the second most popular in the country, while at the same time she was raising four children. For a while she successfully ran a hotel, a dream she always had after she and her family lost their resort hotel during World War 2, when it was completely taken over by the German army and the whole family ended up spending the rest of the war in a summer house. After a divorce she worked in the public health Care Sector with multi-problem families and published in Danish newspapers. She traveled extensively with her four children and in 1980 settled in USA, worked five years as a social worker in a nursing home and for a number of years worked and/or volunteered for Hospice. After her oldest daughter fought a five year battle with breast cancer, which finally killed her, Ragnhild told Maria's story in 'Days of Goodbyes'.
