BA in German Language and Literature, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio

Mary grew up in Columbus, Ohio and worked for 11 years in the corporate world of McDonald’s and its suppliers, both in Germany and Chicago after graduation.

With the birth of her first child, she opted to be a stay-at-home mom, and after having boy #3, started her own cake decorating business. Re-entering the workforce in 2009 at an Episcopal Church, she gained nine years of church administration and finance expertise before accepting the role of Epiphany’s Business Manager in May of 2017.  

Mary manages all the various aspects of church administration, focusing on parish finances, facilities and technology management, parishioner contributions and information, renovations, and personnel. She is thrilled to be part of this vibrant community of parishioners, and to work each day with such a talented and fun staff!
Mary and her husband Michael are long-time members of St Margaret Mary, have been married for over 30 years, and have three sons in various levels of higher education. Mary enjoys gardening, crocheting, and baking the occasional sweet treat for our staff's birthdays.
