Marilyn Paarlberg
and her husband, John, live in an 1885 farmhouse in Loudonville. When she is
not in our church office, chances are good that Marilyn might be engaged in one
of the many tasks involved in renovating an old house. Other spare-time hobbies
are writing poetry, gardening, and keeping in touch with the Paarlbergs’ three
children.
