Emily Ulrey has a chat with a pastor's kid and missionary's kid: Debbie Mohr

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 4, 2016 - 9:47pm

Story and photos by Emily Ulrey
 
There are some people who have a life in them, an energy that is overflowing and abundant.  This energy is demonstrated not only in the way they walk, or talk, but in their spirit and the way they share it with others. Debbie Mohr is a one-of-a-kind, loving individual whose energetic spirit is evident in everything that she does.

I first met Debbie Mohr in 1999 when her family moved to Bluffton. That was the year my father left his position, and Debbie’s husband took over as the pastor of English Lutheran Church.
