Susan was born in Dallas, Texas, and came to CWJC by way of computer software engineering. She started teaching computer classes in 2013, with no intention of taking on any extra leadership roles. She is now so thankful God had other plans for her! Susan is married to David, and she is blessed with three stepchildren and three step-grandchildren. She also has two “fur babies,” Lucy and Rooby. Susan has two church homes, Asbury Church in Madison and Church on the Lake in Guntersville. She has served in lay-leadership with the Asbury Prime Timers for eleven years and counting, and she serves on the board for Church on the Lake, which meets Memorial Day through Labor Day. The lake is where she spends a lot of her free time; she loves being outdoors kayaking, hiking, or biking. Susan says she likes to “pray and play every chance she gets!”

Amy Harbarger

Volunteer Coordinator/Office Manager

aharbarger@cwjc.net

Amy was born in Montgomery, Alabama but considers Alexander City her hometown, having moved there at age 10. After graduating from Auburn University, marrying Huntsville native David Harbarger, and having three sons, Amy found her niche in volunteering. It became evident after many years with PTAs and other community organizations that volunteers are the bedrock of a city and community. Since 2013, Amy has volunteered with CWJC as part of the Circles Luncheon planning committee and as a member of the Board of Directors. When a part time job opened up at CWJC as Volunteer Coordinator, the timing seemed right! First Baptist Huntsville is her church home where Amy teaches 5th grade Sunday School. Her favorite activities include being with her family (which doesn’t happen often since two kids are at Auburn), reading, spending time with friends, and watching British dramas on PBS!
