I am Kirk’s wife of 27 years.  I was born and raised in Hermitage, Pa.  I have a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education and a master’s degree in Early Childhood Education.  In 2016 I retired after 30 years with the Reynolds School District, a career that I loved.  Also, during this time, seeing the needs of so many area “at risk children” I helped North Sandy Church establish a “Children’s Comfort Bag” program to reach and touch these kids with the love of God.  Bags were routinely delivered to agencies working with these kids, Children in Youth Service, Sheriff Departments, etc.
