I’m a former nurse practitioner, nursing instructor, and elementary school teacher. As a Marin Master Gardener I help lead 2nd graders on local field trips . My husband Roger & I have been married for 65 years and have 4 children and 8 grandchildren. My son Allan and I hiked 30 miles of the Camino de Santiago this summer.

I love being a part of this church, connecting with people, and being of service. I enjoy playing the piano, cooking and eating, walking Marin trails, playing computer games and being with family and friends. I’ve been married to Ron since 1966 and our son, Paul, is a physics teacher.

I am a retired elementary school teacher, having taught third grade for 29 years. My interests are hiking, gardening, swimming, volunteering both at FPCSA and in the community at large. I also relish time spent with friends and family, especially our three young grandchildren.

Retired English examiner and artist, I am happily back in San Anselmo, my home town. I keep myself busy pet-sitting and going to our exercise class here in Duncan Hall where you can see my little stained glass window I made at age 11! Although I’ve lived almost 8 years overseas, I’m a 5th generation Bay Area kid.

I once had a landscape business. Now I help care for the Memorial Garden at FPCSA. I used to be a preschool teacher; now I enjoy watching my six grandchildren grow up - too fast!

I share my life with the love of my life Karl. I am a California credentialed Master Teacher and have worked at San Anselmo Preschool since 1983. I started singing at age 5 and as an adult I sing first soprano in FPCSA choir.

I was a public defender for over 30 years in Contra Costa County. Now retired, I keep busy with my family, friends and volunteer projects. I especially love being surrounded by books and book lovers at Townbooks in San Anselmo and by wonderful singers in our church choir. I feel such gratitude to live in such a beautiful garden of a town.

In 2008, I retired from the antique business, just in time to thoroughly enjoy my 2 grandchildren. Town Books, our local used bookstore, has captured my attention for the last 8 years. My love for books and art is displayed and nurtured.

My family became part of the FPCSA community in 2001, while I was studying at SFTS. I was ordained in 2011. I work part-time at Neurorestorative with traumatic brain-injured clients. My interests include reading, fiber arts, puzzles, 12 Step Recovery, and Warriors basketball.

I have been everything from restaurant hostess to newspaper reporter to college administrator and always a Mom. In my retirement/volunteer life, I supervise groups of volunteers for various dinner/housing programs serving the food & housing-insecure communities.

My husband and I joined FPCSA in 1995 and I’m thrilled to join the deacons again. I’m a retired physical therapist. i enjoy time with my children and grandchildren, volunteering at the San Francisco Botanical Garden and as a Master Gardener, sewing, and playing the piano. Singing is a huge joy for me. A highlight of my week is singing in the choir on Sunday morning.

I’m a Certified Professional Life and Grief Coach and love connecting with other people. I’m a kidney transplant recipient, grateful for each day, and I enjoy being outdoors with my dog, Mercy. In my spare time, I enjoy writing and listening to music.
