Meet the Staff

Reverend Mary Ann Hill, Rector

Reverend Mary Ann was ordained in 2002 after a career at the University of Illinois as an academic advisor to graduate and undergraduate students in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. She served in several parishes and comes to TOTH after 15 years as rector of St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church in Tulsa, Okla. There, to name but a few accomplishments, she supervised a sizeable church preschool and founded a Latino mission for the Hispanic community. She is accompanied by her Corgi church dog, Cuthbert.

Nancy Coombs, Parish Administrator

Nancy attended a TOTH Easter service with friends in 2000, and immediately felt at home. Although raised in the Presbyterian church, she discovered that the rituals of the Episcopal Church resounded with her spirit. After her mother’s death, her father Donald moved to Los Alamos to live with her brother’s family, and he joined Nancy in worship at TOTH until he passed.

Having originally followed her brother to Los Alamos in 1990, Nancy accepted a position as an elementary school teacher, working at Aspen for 15 years. She then moved into marketing, first at the Fuller Lodge Art Center then at UNM-LA. She also interviewed many Los Alamos “celebrities” on the KRSN morning show.

For the past ten years, Nancy has served as a counter after services, and had been scheduling other counters. This year she has been working with Cynthia to enter contributions into the Realm system. As a recent retiree, she is pleased to have the opportunity to work in the office, and interact with parishioners during the week.

Claire Singleton, Office Manager

Although raised in the English Methodist Church, Claire has been worshipping at TOTH since coming to Los Alamos in 2000. She began helping Cheryl with the bulletins a few years later, moving on to serving as office assistant and substitute for Cynthia. Most recently, she has been preparing the weekly bulletins, editing Trinity Tidings, and scheduling acolytes and LEM-LRs from home.

Claire also sings in the Chancel Choir, attends Women Alive in Mind, Body and Spirit on Tuesday mornings, and has served on many house-building mission teams in Juarez, Mexico. She is a licensed Lay Reader and Lay Eucharist Minister. When not working for TOTH, she is a freelance translator of Dutch and French to English. She enjoys swimming, dance classes, yoga, musical theatre, acting, dancing with the Hill Stompers and Sacred Harp singing.

Louisa Singleton, Choir Director

Louisa has been on-and-off attending TOTH since she moved to Los Alamos with her parents and brother in 2000. Louisa was active in the TOTH Youth and Evensong Choirs, both of which were directed by her dad (John), and she can also proudly claim that she has participated in almost every Christmas pageant performed at TOTH since she moved to town, most of which were also directed by her dad. 

Louisa was raised as a musician and, as well as participating in the music activities at church, was also a member of the Los Alamos High School Band and Choir programs, and studied piano (including with Joe Cox) until graduating from high school. She received her Bachelor’s in Music Education at Arizona State University and taught elementary school music and band in the greater Phoenix area for five years. Most recently, she spent a year at University College London in central London, studying for her Master’s in Math Education, a secondary subject she is equally as passionate about teaching.

In her spare time these days, she enjoys teaching and playing piano, tutoring in math, playing piccolo in the Hill Stompers band, and spending time with her friends and family.

Wendy Huff, Parish Sexton

Wendy serves as the Parish Sexton, which means she keeps the facilities clean and in great working order. She has been a resident of Los Alamos since 1979, meaning she knows more secrets about the Secret City than most of the others on staff. She has two wonderful children, Michael and Jessica, and has recently become a grandmother to Aiden. She enjoys traveling around the country and the world, spending time with her family, and reading gripping mystery novels. She also serves as the Customer Service Manager at Smiths.
