Alumni Family
Earns Accolade
According to Midi Beal's article in the
January 10, 2000 Xenia Daily Gazette, Amy Young
Womack'80 was shocked to learn that her family
had been named Ohio Family of the Year. Amy,
husband Mark '83, and daughters Amber(14),
Aubrey (12), and Alison (9), recently received this
family honor from the Ohio Family and Community
Educators(Ohio FCE), an organization which promotes
education and morals in the family.
"[My]first thought[was]'oh brother, we're not
worthy of this,
"
"Amy shares in the article. Obviously
the Ohio FCE found reason to believe that the
Womacks were indeed worthy of the honor.
In fact, although the Womacks filled out application
forms and wrote an essay for the award, it was the
family's reputation and character that hooked them
the title right away.The Gazette article quotes Annie
Stewart, public
relations
chairperson for
Greene County ICE,
assaying,"Amy's
name came up,
and that was the
end of it."
According to
the article, the
Womacks strive to
maintain quality
family time and are
known for their
helpful involvement
and quality work in the community.
It seems that they do all to the best of their abilities,
and they try to do it together. Mark, who is the sports
information director at Cedarville College, and Amy,
who is involved in the Greene County Chapter of the
Ohio FCE, have served as Sunday school teachers and
senior high youth group leaders at Grace Baptist
Church in Cedarville for the past 10 years.
In addition, Amy is a member of Cedarville's alumni
council. All three of Mark and Amy's daughters attend
Cedar Cliff School and are involved in soccer and
band. The family supports one another by attending
as many of each other's events and functions as
possible.
The Gazette article quotes Barb Johnston, vice
president of the Ohio FCE Board, as describing the
Womacks as outstanding people."When they do
things, they do things together as a family," she
shared."Even if it's going to a game,they do it
together. They're a very dedicated family."
