I'm a 1979 graduate of Tussey Mountain School District.  I am married to Jeff Rankin and we reside in Six Mile Run.  We have two daughters (Chanda Thomas and Jessica McGraw), and three grandchildren (Paige Thomas, Jeffrey and Jabin McGraw).  They are the center of my world.

     After graduation, I worked at Letterkenny Army Depot until 1985, when our third daughter was born with medical problems.  After her death in 1987, I went to work at First National Bank of Saxton (now Omega Bank) and left there in 1995 to work for Tussey Mountain School District as a Confidential Secretary in charge of Payroll/Human Resources.  Since that time, there have been many changes in the Business Office due to both staffing needs and state mandates.  I enjoy working in the education field and feel privileged to be a part of providing the means to educate our students the best way we can.
