Mary Faesser

By: Brad

One of Ogallala’s extraordinary people is  Mrs. Mary Faesser.  She does a lot of charity work and works with youth in Ogallala.  She reported that she got started in helping the community through her kid’s activities.  Her favorite thing to do to help the community is working with the youth and teenagers in the school and out of school. What inspired her to begin helping in the community is she got invited to a church group and it just felt good to her.

In her future she thinks she’ll take on a project helping the youth of Ogallala. Her main encouragement is just to make things better for the youth. She says “If your child is in an activity, then the parents are in the activity, too.”

Her inspiration as a child was her parents, who supported her throughout her whole life. One of her biggest partners is Carol Kraus. When asked what is the most important part of your job, Mrs. Faesser said, “Helping the youth realize their full potential.”  One of her other projects is getting the 4H program back in action.  Her passions are school activities.  She got connected with the community through being involved with her children's activities.
