Jackie Amthor
Parish Administrator
granjackieamthor@gmail.com
Jackie Amthor was a regular visitor at St. Peter’s for many years when she came to visit her son Mark Hamilton and his family (including Kim, Rex and Jack) who are all members of St. Peter’s. When she moved permanently to Carbondale in 2015 after living in the Washington, DC area for more than 50 years, she found the very welcoming St. Peter’s family a natural fit. She served as a lay leader in a variety of roles in three different Episcopal parishes in Virginia and Maryland. She says, “no matter where I lived in DC, the Episcopal Church gave me important roots and kept me grounded.”
