Bio

A Rotary member since 2013, Mary has worked in Employee Communications, Services Marketing, as a Pennsylvania Guest Teacher, and now in Financial Services. She owns Demeter Financial Services where she provides financial advice, health insurance and Medicare insurance guidance.

Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, she moved with her mom to Ohio for high school and then attended The Ohio State University. She earned a BS in Communications and Economics before moving to Dallas, Texas with her husband Paul. Much of her work there was in marketing for Architectural, Engineering and Construction Companies. They moved back to Pennsylvania in 1999 with their two children to be near family.

Mary has been active in the community since moving to Carlisle, volunteering and serving on the Boards of the Amelia S Givin Library, the Helen O Krause Animal Foundation, American Association of University Women and of course, Rotary. She was an Assistant Leader for a local Girl Scout troop, helping four girls achieve the highest award of Gold.

Her focus is now her business, Rotary and continuing to learn new things. She loves to collect quotes about life and community. Her most recent favorite is: “I cannot do all the good that the world needs. But the world needs all the good that I can do.” – Jana Stanfield.
