Andrea Turner
Andrea C. Turner has been a St. Paul’s Episcopal Church member for nearly 20 years. After being raised in the Catholic Church in Niagara Falls, New York, she was received into The Episcopal Church in 2007. Her father was a former Benedictine monk before marrying her mother, and her eldest sister was a former nun. Her two children were baptized and grew up attending St. Paul’s. Anna, 20, is a sophomore at The Ohio State University, and Henry, 17, is a senior at Cleveland Heights High School. Her kids were active in the Children’s and Youth Choirs, Apollo’s Fire Musettes, Acolytes, Drama Dreamers, and Harlan mission trips. They’ve traveled as a family with fellow parishioners so Anna could sing at Ely Cathedral in England, Washington National Cathedral in D.C., and St. Thomas Choir School in New York City.
Andrea co-chaired the Communications Committee; served on the Stewardship Committee, the former Church School and St. Paul’s Co-Operative Preschool boards; taught as one of the first Godly Play teachers; and was an original member of The Village. She now operates the livestream controls for several Sunday services, weddings, and funerals, as well as providing special event photography.
Andrea is self-employed as a Marketing Communications Consultant with ACT One Communications, LLC. She is a freelance writer and photographer for Currents newspaper and former Managing Editor of the Heights Observer. She currently serves on the board of Mobius, formerly known as RoxArts, and has served on the board of the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes. Andrea practices yoga, cheers on her son who plays varsity ice hockey and lacrosse, and hosts an Airbnb space in her home. She enjoys monthly book club gatherings, taking walks with her dog, attending dance, theater, and music performances, and traveling and biking with her partner Karl. She looks forward to serving her beloved church as a Vestry member.
