Administrative Assistant Trudy McKinnell
Trudy retired after nearly 30 years as a self-employed graphic designer, and transitioned to part-time work serving SMC as the administrative assistant. Trudy and her husband moved to Oregon in 1992 and are long-time members of Salem Mennonite Church and raised their family of three daughters here. Trudy loves outdoor adventures involving camping, hiking and quiet water kayaking. She's also a home-body, loving to work in her garden and host family gatherings. A real joy in her life is singing with a 100-voice choir in Salem and with a Victorian caroling group. Stop by the church office and say hello!
