Originally from Wellsburg, WV, she obtained music degrees from West Liberty University and WVU. Marguerite retired from the faculty of West Virginia Wesleyan College but still teaches private organ lessons. Her recent activities include affiliation with the Vox Principalis Choral Association, and doctoral research and travel related to the music of composer Arvo Pärt whom she hopes to visit again at his music center in Estonia.
Building Supervisor
Bonnie Johnson
Bonnie grew up in Morgantown and started attending SSUMC when she was only 7 years old. She met, married Robert and joined the Brethren Church until returning to Spruce Street, where she became a faithful member, joining the choir and playing the handbells. Bonnie was hired by Dr. Roger Smith as the Building Supervisor, where she has continued to open thousands of doors and make millions of cups of coffee. She loves being involved with the WVU Community Choir and acting in plays at the MAC. She has traveled extensively, visiting National Parks and state capitals, missing only Maine and Hawaii. Bonnie has a great passion for smiles, hugs and being helpful in any way she can. God continues to bless her with an abundant grace filled life.
