The Vestry

The senior warden is the primary elected lay leader of the congregation, and serves as a principal liaison between the parish and the rector.

My spiritual journey began in Florida. Born of European parents, I was raised as a Catholic. As an active
member of the Catholic Church, I served as a Sunday school teacher for several years. I met a wonderful man named Tom, and relocated to Tennessee, so that we could share our life together. It was Tom that first introduced me to St. Joseph of Arimathea. The first time I attended
mass, I was welcomed with warmth and open arms. I then understood why Tom had such love for his
“little church."

Professionally, I have a business management degree, and I have been a certified property and construction project manager for over thirty-five years. I also hold a principal broker license in Florida and Tennessee. I was elected to serve as the Junior Warden of the parish in February of 2023. 

I transferred my membership from St. Philip’s Episcopal Church to St. Joseph’s in 2001.  I have served on our vestry, served as President of our Daughters of the King chapter, serve as a Chalice Bearer, and lead our Ladies Bible Studies class. Currently, I serve on our Diocese Bishop and Council.  

I am a retired educator with Sumner County Schools.  Currently I volunteer as a Tennessee Long Term Care Ombudsman, visiting nursing homes to ensure quality care.

My family and I joined St. Francis Episcopal Church in 2004. I have been attending St. Joseph of Arimathea since 2010 with the merger of the two churches. I have previously served on the Vestry and have been the Clerk of the Vestry since 2019. Recently I have joined the Daughters of the King, ECW and Altar Guild. It is a privilege to serve our Church community.

I am the proud Mom of two sons, Levi and Luke and spend as much time as possible with them and attending their functions. I work as Office Manager at Brantley Sound Associates in Nashville and Office Assistant at Gaffney Insurance Agency in Gallatin. 

Philip John Cramer was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, and attended a Southern Baptist Church until he joined the University Choir at the University of the South. Returning to Atlanta after graduating in 2004, Philip attended a variety of Lutheran and Episcopal churches until settling in Saint Edward’s Episcopal Church with his wife Amanda. In 2010, Philip and Amanda moved to Lexington, Virginia, and were active in the congregation of the Robert E. Lee Memorial Episcopal Church.  Philip and Amanda began attending St. Joseph of Arimathea shortly after moving to Hendersonville in 2014.

I have been a member of St Joseph’s since 2018, since moving from New Jersey in 2017. I am a former long-time member of the Church of the Atonement in Tenafly, NJ, where I was the head of children’s education for 25 years, and served on the Personnel and Website Committees. I had the honor of serving as a Vestry member for several years, as well as Junior and Senior Vestry Warden.
 

Having earned my Masters of Library and Information Science, I served as the Asst Director of Library Services for a global advertising agency in NY and later earned my PHR, and served as Director in a law firm management consultancy and then as the Senior Admin/HR Mgr/Asst to the CEO in a senior level management placement firm.

In 2017, I  retired from the workforce. My volunteer work spans 40 years and includes serving as Girl Scout troop town manager and Girl Scout leader. I consider community service and the development of
leadership skills in girls/women to be extremely important.

My husband Jack and I live in Hendersonville.

 I was born and raised in Erie, PA. After high school, I attended the  University of Michigan on a Naval ROTC scholarship.

I was an instructor at the Fleet Anti-Submarine Warfare  Training Center in San Diego. I then served 16 years in the Naval Reserve  and retired as a Commander in 1993. Upon leaving active duty in 1977, I moved to Virginia Beach, VA where I  worked as a naval warfare analyst for several defense contractors for 30  years.  

​

Upon retirement in 2007, I moved to Hendersonville to be near my  daughter and her family. I have been married to Barbara Moomy for 50  years. We have two grown children and five grandchildren. My daughter and her family live in Hendersonville and my son and his family live in  Apex, NC.

I began attending St. Francis Episcopal Church in 2003 with my husband, Adam, and my daughter, Emma. I have been at St. Joseph’s since the merger of the two churches in 2010. This is my second term on the vestry, and I'm honored to serve in this capacity. 

I have been an editor for the U.S. Geological Survey for 26 years. In my free time, I enjoy reading and visiting State parks in my family’s pop-up camper.

I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and moved to Nashville to attend Vanderbilt University.  I graduated from Vanderbilt with a Bachelor of Engineering in 1973.  I retired from IBM after 30 and a half years and most week days you can find me on a golf course. I became the disbursing Treasurer in July of 2011.
