jean bollinger
Administrative Assistant & Worship Coordinator
I was a farmer’s daughter from September 1961 until my marriage to Tim in August of 1981, when I switched my designation to farmer’s wife. We raised our four children on our farm west of Stonington and we’ve recently welcomed to the family a son in-law and a daughter in-law along with three fantastic grandchildren. Tim and I enjoy hosting gatherings for our family and friends. During my life I have worked at many great places and now I’m blessed to be the Administrative Professional (Church Secretary) to Stonington UMC. My job is made especially enjoyable by the help and love of my wonderful church family and its clergy.
