Leadership

I have been in the finance-banking business for over 35 years, I love numbers, my husband says I’m crazy.

I was born at ELIH, raised in Cutchogue, settled in Southold. I enjoy Nascar, horses, books, walking trails and spending time with my husband, children and grandchildren.

Be in touch and contact the church office if you have any building questions or requests.

I am on church council and part of the outreach and fellowship committee as well as being involved with the Parent Cooperative.

I work as a psychotherapist for the past 40 years in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

We have split our time between Park Slope and Orient for 24 years with more and more time spent in Orient.

I view OCC as a major hub of the Orient community.

I was born and raised in Greenport and moved to Orient in 1982 after marrying my husband, Jim. We are the proud parents of sons, Jake and Jordan, and their wives, Claire and Nicolle. We adore our grandchildren, Ellie and Jimmy, and look forward to welcoming another grandson into the family soon!

Jim and I are commercial fishermen and volunteer firefighters. We share our home with our fur babies, Glory the Golden, Luna the Lab, and our cat, Skittles. In my spare time (ha!) I enjoy tending to my gardens.

The ability to participate in church matters is important to me because I believe it is a key way that we affirm God’s presence and grace as we continue to build a community and world that uplifts all people.

With my spouse, Carolyn of 38 years, I am the proud mom and grandmom of 2 adult sons David and Eric and their wives Jina and Keri and 2 grandchildren Gabriel and Maya. And dog mom to 3 sweet rescued dogs. I am a psychotherapist and nature lover.

I also serve on the Church and Ministry committee for the Suffolk Association. Tech for Facebook, the website, you tube and live streaming. Just finished a 3 year term as co-moderator

Bachelor of Science degree in teaching from Willam Paterson University in New Jersey. Retired from 26 years at Coty Prestige Fragrances as a Business Sales Manager.

I currently have a property Management business on the North Fork East End of Long Island. My passions are cooking, baking, making candy, gardening, wood working, home remodeling and fishing. Recently finished a complete renovation of a home purchased 4 years ago.

I enjoy hanging out with my friends, playing games, cooking and just spending time with each other. My church family is a big part of my life.

I am blessed with having two daughters and two grandchildren who live nearby, allowing us to share many special times together. Two of my four siblings are close as well.

In 2015 I retired from predominately emergency room nursing after forty years. I enjoy feeding and helping cats ( an on occasion person), reading, gardening, church work, doing jigsaw puzzles and spending time with family and good friends, of which thankfully there are many.

Sing in the choir, play trumpet during services, serve on the Council, the Music & Worship Committee, and as Clerk. OCC has been our home for family baptisms, weddings and funerals…. “a very present help in…” well, everything!
