Kathleen Anderson came to GUUF in 2012.  Her long experience with children as an elementary teacher, her work with adults as a leadership coach and writing facilitator and her lifelong engagement with spirituality prepared her well for her role as our Director of Lifespan Religious Education.  Kathleen loves making music and art and working with dogs and horses, gardens and stones.  She is the proud mom of a grown son, Joel.  He and his wife work as historical interpreters in Colonial Williamsburg. (And doesn’t she look sharp in her red Ford hybrid.)
