Pastor Sue Socha
Pastor Ann Marshall
Reverend
Anita Marshall (Pastor Ann) was ordained into the ministry of Word and
Sacrament in October 1997 and began her ministry at Mt. Pleasant and St.
Mark’s shortly thereafter. A native of Tiffin, Ohio, Pastor Ann grew up in
the countryside outside of town and has a love of small town and country
living. She is second oldest of four children. After graduating from Tiffin
Columbian High School in 1977, Pastor Ann moved to Columbus, Ohio and
attended Ohio State University, where she received a Bachelor of Science of
Social Welfare in March 1982. From that time until she entered seminary in
1993, Pastor Ann worked as a social worker and administrator at the
Salvation Army and Faith Mission, both in Columbus. Those critical years
increased her appreciation for the diversity of God’s people and the need
for the church to be a voice for social justice. She continues to be an
advocate for the homeless, poor and marginalized people of our society.
Pastor Ann entered Trinity Lutheran Seminary in June 1993 and completed her
Master of Divinity degree in 1997. The Mt. Pleasant-St. Mark’s Parish is
her first call. Pastor Ann is married to Michael Montgomery. She has two
children, Sarah (21) and Nathaniel (17), two dogs, and three cats.
