Welcome, Mary Idleman!

Please join us in welcoming our new Volunteer Coordinator, Mary Idleman! Mary has been a volunteer with Faith in Action for three years. She provides rides for care-receivers, is part of the assessment team, and works the transportation desk. Mary has also been a Faith in Action board member for two and a half years.

Before retiring, Mary had a rich history of improving lives through dietetics, teaching graduate courses at ISU and working as the Director of Dietetics for Olympia School District.

Mary has lived in the Bloomington-Normal area for fifteen years and is the grandmother of two boys — And a third grandson is due by the end of this August! When she’s not volunteering with Faith in Action or looking after her grandsons, Mary enjoys spending her time teaching Sunday School at her church (Holy Apostles Orthodox), playing word games, knitting and crocheting, or reading a good book.

We have always been grateful for Mary’s contributions to Faith in Action and are thrilled to welcome her in this new capacity!
