A native of the beautiful Great Lakes State, Muffy is from Birmingham, Michigan, and a graduate of Michigan State University, where she was a member of the women’s golf team. Soon after graduation, Muffy became an LPGA Golf Professional in southern California, and in short-order, quickly saw other avenues to spread her wings, starting her own Public Relations and Development firm. After 16 glorious years in LA, Muffy met her soon-to-be husband…a military man, and life would quickly change. Muffy has competed as an Army spouse on the Food Network, she is an Operations Producer with ESPN, and has recently launched PCS Media Group-focusing on publicity, creatives, and staffing for television and movies utilizing military spouses, and retired military/federal employees. Muffy and her recently retired, Army Chaplain husband are building their forever home near Charleston. Muffy’s favorite saints are: Mary Magdelene and St. Catherine of Siena.

Greetings from Wright Patterson AFB, OH! This is Joan’s family’s last PCS with the USAF and what a ride it has been. Joan’s husband is in his 32nd year serving our great nation. She loves volunteering for MCCW and her current title is Director of Finance. Joan and her husband have 3 grown children, one grandson, and are learning how to become empty-nesters.

Josie has always been a part of MCCW since 2006 (later changed to CWOC). Between children and her husband’s deployments, she was unable to participate and travel as much as she desired but stayed involved by helping out locally at CWOCs and churches. During the time of assisting in the local chapels, her love for her faith grew, and she felt blessed to be able to now give a little more time to MCCW Worldwide. Josie is married to her Field Artillery soldier, and is the mother of 6 children, ranging in ages from 27 to 11. She loves to cook, crochet, listen to Fr. Chris Alar from Divine Mercy, play sports with her family, and dance. Her favorite saints are: Mama Mary and St. Padre Pio.
