In 2019 upon returning to Beaufort, I joined Carteret Street United Methodist Church and in October 2024, I joined the staff as Business Manager.
In my senior year in High School, I moved to Beaufort with my family – a long time ago! I lived in Beaufort for a year before going to Lander College in Greenwood, SC. Greenwood became my home where I married and raised my children; my daughter, Kimberly and my son, Ben. I now have four beautiful grandchildren, three boys and one girl. The two youngest boys, Will and Wade Keyserling, live here in Beaufort. Gage and Ashley Timmerman are in their 20’s and live in Greenwood. I have moved around the state of SC over the years and always knew I wanted to return to the coast when it was time to retire.
The river and the beach and all the activities surrounding both are my favorite things including sailing, kayaking, boating, and swimming. I always have a boat/beach bag ready-to-go in the back of my car!
I love Carteret Street UMC and believe all things happen for a reason. If we can truly wait on God, I believe his plans for us do become clear. I believe this was His plan for me to be in Beaufort and become a part of this wonderful church.
