BARBARA MCDANIEL

Director of Parish Administration

Barbara arrived at St. John's in 1996 after years at Carolina Freight. She is the mother of two grown children, Kristen and Justin. Barbara coordinates the daily office activities at St. John's, work that ranges from finances to food bags, phone calls to bulletins,reception to newsletters, organizing to informing. The list seems endless.

Because she (literally) knows every person who has lived in Cherryville, is currently alive in Cherryville, or yet to be born in Cherryville, Barbara is a wonderful parish and civic resource. Simply said, Barbara is a local celebrity. St. John's is blessed to have her.
