I am a resident of Brownsville and have lived here for ten years.  I attended schools in Maryland and have four children. My oldest son Nick pastored in New Castle, P.A. for 11 years.  My daughter, Darlene, has her own Day Care in Virgina. My daughter Elaine teaches the third grade in Flordia. My woungest son Phillip lives iwht me and my husband here in Brownsville and assists Dr. Nathan at Penn State Fayette campus. My husband Rev. James Stemple1 pastors Maranatha A/G on Brownsville Ave.

I have volunteered for the last six years for Bible Release Time in all the Brownsville Area schools as coordinator. I also volunteer for the House of Grace as a cook for four days a week. Currently I work at the Flatiron Building under the Green Thumb program.

At the Flatrion Building I do office work including filing, copying, computer work, and typing. This work relates to my experience working in the church office and stems from my high school interest in business education.

Volunteering makes me feel good that I can help others and also our commuity. since I was not raised here I really don't know about the places or the events that have happened in the past. But, each day I find myself learning about the people, town, and Historical Sites. My goal as well as BARC's Mission is to make Brownsville a better place to live.
