I was named after a kindergarten student in Ironwood, Michigan – I am a third career pastor.  Earlier careers were tailoring and teaching Head Start.  The pastor calling has remained, and I have been a pastor for 26 years, mostly in Michigan with four years in Georgia.  I have been ordained for 20 years.

Edrye graduated from Aquinas College, now University, and Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary.  Fun fact: she enjoys travel, singing, and often needs help with technology.

Edrye is widowed, a grandmother of 15 and great grandmother of one, as of March 20^, 2026.  A non-ministry goal is to complete life with under 40 moves.
