Beryl is responsible for Pastoral Care, including working with families in grief, helping plan funerals, serving as the staff liaison for Grief Support, Separated and Divorced Support, homebound ministers, long-term care communion services, and Stephen Ministry.

Beryl is an articulate, curious and faith-filled woman. She possesses a sense that there’s no such thing as a coincidence, and her life and work radiate gratitude. If you sat down for coffee with Beryl you’d discover her life is filled with “God-shots,” events that transformed her life and direction, events she describes as “the heavy hand of the Holy Spirit.”

She and her husband Steve have three adult children. Beryl has a Religion degree from Duke University, an MBA from the Darden School at the University of Virginia, a Masters of Divinity from St. John’s University and is a board certified chaplain. She completed her chaplain residency at Abbott Northwestern Hospital. Beryl writes a “Spiritually Speaking” column for the Eden Prairie News, interviews prospective students for Duke, and is the author of the recently released book, Habits of Resilience.
