Volunteer Profile: Marie Mead

 

As we continue the celebration of National Volunteer Week, today we profile Marie Mead, one of the English teachers at Passaic Neighborhood Center for Women. 

 

Originally from Jersey City, Marie is a graduate of St. Dominic Academy and Seton Hall University.  Marie and her husband, Bill, have been married since October 1961.  They have 4 children and 9 grandchildren.

 

Marie's ministries include Cornerstone for Women, lector, church choir and hospitality for the homeless through the Family Promise organization.  Her interests include regular physical exercise like walking, tennis, swimming, aerobics; activities of family life; meditation and reading.

 

Marie finds volunteering at the Center to be one of the most satisfying roles of her life:  "The Passaic Neighborhood Center for Women provides a delightful respite for learning and socializing, an opportunity for developing new skills and forming new relationships.  I am humbled to be involved in this venture."

 

We are so very grateful to Marie Mead for the passion and compassion she brings to her work here.
