OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR

Marianne has been the Office Administrator since November of 2004. Her family lived in New Cumberland most of her life and she graduated from Cedar Cliff High School.  She met her husband Jim when they both worked at Highmark/Blue Shield.  She then became a stay-at-home mom with their two children; Brian, who works at Highmark as a programmer, and Nikki, who works for CSG as a High Risk Therapeutic Support Staff.  As a family they love to go camping, mostly at State Parks. When Marianne isn’t at the church or camping, you will find her enjoying her other passion in life … sewing.
