Marilyn Cromwell 600x540 jgeditsMarilyn Cromwell, Office Manager

Marilyn began attending First Safety Harbor as a child, attending Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, and singing in the Junior Choir. Marilyn was baptized and confirmed at First Safety Harbor as a teenager, and she was active in the youth group in junior and senior high school.  While earning an A.A. in Early Childhood Education at St. Petersburg Junior College and a B.A. in elementary education at the University of South Florida, she served in several leadership positions.  She served as Sunday School Superintendent, Teacher, and Director of Vacation Bible School, Director of the Logos mid-week program, and Elder.  Marilyn later earned an M.S. degree in Educational Leadership at Nova Southeastern University's satellite campus in Tampa.

Marilyn and her husband, Michael, were married in the church in 1976, and both of their adult children grew up in the church, actively involved in church events and activities.  Her son also served as an Elder.  After 40 years, extenuating circumstances led Marilyn to leave First Safety Harbor in 2003, transferring her membership to Northwood Presbyterian Church for several years before returning to Safety Harbor in 2010.

Marilyn retired on August 1, 2011, after 35 years of service to Pinellas County Schools as a classroom teacher, district resource teacher for struggling student/dropout prevention programs, district resource teacher for K-12 magnet and fundamental school programs, assistant principal, and principal. She enjoys music, sewing, and scrapbooking.  Marilyn serves as volunteer office manager, and she's in the church office for 6-8 hours on Wednesdays.  She works from home on other days as needed, and she can be reached on her cell (727) 946-5319.  On Sunday morning you'll find Marilyn playing the piano for worship (unless she is visiting her daughter's family in Jacksonville or occasionally on a vacation), and she serves as Ruling Elder and Clerk of Session.
