Clarita Krall with current and former District Superintendents

Clarita Anderman Krall retires in December after 25 years as an invaluable District Resource Assistant in the Eastern PA Conference, mostly recently for the East District. She was celebrated by a host of loving family, friends and colleagues Nov. 4 at Jarrettown UMC and again by fellow staff at the Conference Office Nov. 20.  She served four bishops, seven district superintendents and many churches during her long tenure. Flanking her here at the Nov. 4 tribute are four superintendents she supported: (from left) the Revs. Dorothy Watson-Tatem, Tracy Bass, Joe Tyson and Al Maloney.
