Mary is a licensed real estate appraiser in Kansas with an extensive background in financial accounting for large nonprofits. She developed accounting procedures that are now used in several nonprofits across the country, using her experience in nonprofit auditing, compliance reports and grant procedures. She has a Bachelor of Science from McPherson College. As a result of her involvement in several nonprofit organizations in the community, Mary feels that housing is the number one issue facing families in our county. She serves as the treasurer for the MHC board.
Mary and her husband Jerry, who retired from the Air Force, have five children, eleven grandchildren, and two great grandchildren spread all across the country. They love having the family come to visit their rural home just outside of the city of McPherson, where they can run and play and have cookouts.
