Mary Kroohs, Deacon

My relationship with the St Anne’s community began in late 1974 when my family was warmly
welcomed one Sunday morning. We knew we had landed in a church family that was grounded
in the love of Christ and in service to the world. The St. Anne’s community raised me up for my
eventual ordination to the diaconate in May 1991.
I served as a deacon in various churches until April 2018, when I was assigned to St. Anne’s. It
felt like I was returning home! Since ordination, my ministries outside the church setting have included volunteer chaplaincy at hospitals and nursing homes, volunteer grief counseling, and tutoring elementary school students. When employed as a physical therapist (until late 2019), I experienced working in several different settings.
In 2019, food insecurity of our neighbors became the primary focus of my diaconal ministry. I am grateful for the generous support that the St Anne’s community offers the food pantries.
I have three adult daughters and five grandchildren. When I’m not hanging out with them, my favorite leisure activity is hiking or going on long wandering walks.

Carolyn Treglia, Parish Manager and Communications Coordinator

Carolyn was born in Syracuse, New York but has lived in Winston-Salem, NC for over 25 years now. She holds a degree in Special Education and is certified as an instructor in CPR/First Aid. She has worked in the non-profit field for over 20 years and has a passion to help others and give back to the community.

She has a daughter, Hannah, who lives in Brevard, NC and is a National Registered Paramedic for Buncombe County. Her dog, Max, is always at the door waiting to greet me each day. She has started a healthy lifestyle journey that has led me to find a love for walking and kickboxing, along with swimming. She enjoys DIY projects around her house and learning how to garden. She is an avid reader and normally carries a book with her wherever she goes. Reading is her preferred form of traveling. Fun fact, even after living in the south for over 25 years she still only drinks unsweetened tea!

Wendy Rowdy, Nursery Worker

Wendy Rowdy is from Winston-Salem, NC and a recently retired kindergarten and Pre-K teacher from the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools system. She worked for the school system for 27 years and worked at the same school for all those years! During her career, she had the pleasure of working in a variety of areas with children and families and look forward to working with you all each week!

Wendy earned a degree in Child Development/Family Relations from Western Carolina University and a master’s in early education and leadership from Salem College. When I’m not working occasionally, I enjoy spending time with my husband Brian, my son BJ, and our dog Domino. Or enjoying my new retirement hobbies: deck gardening, reading books, knitting, crocheting, traveling, and exercising.
