Katie Dell

Katie spent her childhood in a variety of places - Colorado, Maryland, Connecticut before her family settled in Charlotte, North Carolina for her teenage years. She attended the UNC-Chapel Hill for undergrad and afterwards moved to Charlottesville to complete her Master’s in Teaching at the UVa.

Since then, Katie has worked in Albemarle Public Schools as a bilingual immersion Spanish teacher. Katie met her husband Parker in 2018 and they married in 2020 - right in the middle of the pandemic! Katie and Parker have been members of Tabernacle PCA for 4 years.

They live in Stuarts Draft with their 2 cats and flock of chickens. The Dells have an adorable, energetic toddler and are expecting another baby in October 2025. Katie is now home with her daughter and does some tutoring on the side. 

Her hobbies include: swing dancing, board games, reading, and occasionally sewing. She and Parker love to travel and explore new places.

Katie is excited to begin serving in Women's Ministry and is hopeful that her organizational and leadership skills from the workplace will translate well into helpful contributions at Tab. Katie is most passionate about looking for ways to include and serve women who feel on the fringes of the church community. Please feel free to reach out anytime!

Jeanne grew up in rural Georgia where she accepted Christ as a teen in a revival meeting. She went to college at Emory University in Atlanta and met her husband, Mike, on a blind date – evidence that God works His will in all sorts of ways. There she and Mike were a part of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and feel so blessed to have had that guidance in their lives.

After graduating with a B.A. in math, Mike and Jeanne got married and moved to West Lafayette IN where Mike received a PhD in clinical psychology at Purdue.

Since graduate school, they have lived mostly in the South, and ended up in a suburb of Atlanta where they raised their three children. For years Jeanne was a stay-at-home mother and homemaker (with hobbies of reading, collecting baby dolls, and antiquing), but eventually began helping out at Mike's workplace and ended up being the office manager for his private practice.

They are retired now and have eleven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.  Late in life they abandoned Atlanta and all its congestion to come to the Shenandoah Valley where they have two of their children fairly nearby.

They love the pace of life here and Tab where they have been members since summer of 2023.

Jeanne grew up Methodist, accepted Christ in a Baptist church, but has found her true home in the Reformed Faith as a PCAer since 1977. This is her first foray into women's leadership in the church – better late than never.

Ann Colman

Ann has lived in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley most of her life. She and her husband, Harry, joined Tab in 2010 after an invitation to attend by neighbors, Elgene and Marty Johnson.

For 25 years, Ann taught in the Augusta County public school system, elementary, middle, and secondary levels and after retirement served as a Hospice of the Shenandoah patient care volunteer for 17 years. She has been singing with the Waynesboro Choral Society as long as she has been married, forty one years.

She enjoys being outdoors, walking her 2 dogs, bicycling, and has a fondness for most all of God's creatures. Reading and playing the piano keep her busy too.

Ann looks forward to serving the women of Tab, her church and community.

Ashwynn Halbert

Ashwynn is a Doctor of Optometry who brings both vision and heart to her role as Women’s Fellowship and Events Coordinator at Tabernacle. Originally from North Carolina, she moved to Crozet, Virginia, with her husband, Burt, in 2018. 

The couple joined Tabernacle in 2023—a day made even more meaningful as it was not only her birthday, but also the day she was baptized. 

Ashwynn and Burt, married for 21 years, want to be intentional about serving and connecting with others at Tab. 

Ashwynn is passionate about making things beautiful, whether it’s a thoughtfully arranged bouquet, a perfectly plated meal, or a batch of handmade sugar cookies for friends. She delights in the little details and sees beauty as a reflection of God’s creativity.

When she’s not working or planning gatherings, she enjoys lifting weights, watching birds, or curling up with a book—her two beloved French Bulldogs nestled contentedly in her lap.

With a heart for connection and encouragement, Ashwynn is eager to walk alongside the women of Tabernacle, creating spaces for fellowship, celebration, and spiritual growth. Her favorite verse, Matthew 6:21—“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”—reminds her to keep her heart anchored in eternal treasures.

Mary Beth Hill

Mary Beth was born in Virginia and has lived in many parts of the United States including a few years in Vientiane,Laos. She grew up in the Presbyterian Church attending Sunday School and the Youth Choir.

After attending college and majoring in social work, she began her career in the medical social work field specializing in hospital case management, hospice, home health and bereavement. 

She and her spouse, Dean raised 4 children who are all grown with families of their own. Dean and Mary Beth have also been foster and adoptive parents. They now have 4 dogs and one foster dog needing medical care. She also is a volunteer as a rescue transport driver for shelter dogs.

Her favorite Bible verse is from Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and you minds in Christ Jesus.”
