Meet the Staff

Teri Payne, CFD Administrator

Teri has held positions as office administrator and Executive Assistant in various non-profit, small business, and medical fields. With this background, she fully understands the need for confidentiality and adherence to a strong code of professional ethics. “I believe my commitment to building considerate and respectful relationships with clients, colleagues, and the community at large strongly aligns with CFD’s charter.”

With more than twenty years of software application experience on both PC and MAC, as well as website and social media platforms, she can provide both board and staff support.

“On a more personal note, I am particularly drawn to the opportunity of expanding educational outreach on the topic of death and dying, a subject most people are hesitant to discuss. I took a 9-month sabbatical several years ago to provide live-in hospice support to a close friend dying of late-stage Parkinson’s. The conversations we had, as he faced his own mortality, changed my own attitudes towards death.”

Circle Home welcomes Teri to the mission!
