Our family moved to the Hatfield area 41 years ago and we have been a members at Grace for 41 years. When we moved to Hatfield, we were a family of five – my husband Frank and three children. Today we are a family of 16 – eight of those are grandchildren. One of our favorite family activities is attending Penn State athletic events – mainly football, basketball, and wrestling.

Over the 41 years at Grace, I have been a children’s choir director, served on Stewardship, taught Sunday School, and helped with various activities. Today I lead the Giving in Service team and the Worship and Music team. I served on church council over 20 years ago. I am serving one year on church council and serve as secretary.
