creative ideas for
mission, undesignated in

Gifts Given
Carol
Brueggeman Memorial
Scholarship
Carol Brueggeman was a
charter member of Saint
Andrews Presbyterian
Church and was very
active with the youth in
the church. She felt the
youth were our future
church. This scholarship
is in appreciation for
all that she did for the
youth of Saint Andrews.
Every spring, Saint
Andrews Presbyterian
Women offers a $1,000
scholarship to one
college-bound high
school senior to be used
toward his or her
tuition. The scholarship
is funded from a Trust
that was initially set
up via a fundraiser by
SAPW in memory of Mrs.
Brueggeman.
Susiegray McConnell

McConnell loved God, her
family and Saint Andrews
Presbyterian Church. Her
faith, her love and her
spirit remained strong
as she faced cancer. She
was, and still is, a
source of inspiration to
those who knew her. To
honor the memory of his
late wife, Susiegray,
John P. McConnell
established a $3,000
scholarship to be
awarded to a college
bound high school
