Get to know our TEAM

Donna Stirling has been the Trinity United Church Office Administrator since November, 2014. Although she hails from the little village of Alma in Wellington County, she is now married to local Listowelite, Jim Stirling, and they are the proud parents of Dennis (Abby) and Julie (Mark Edgar). Donna and Jim delight in spending time with their six grandchildren, when not involved with managing the farm, and their business Stirling Farms.

Donna’s pastimes include crocheting and card making, and many members of our congregation have been the recipient of her beautiful cards. She is a valuable volunteer in the community, spending time with the Listowel Agricultural Society and the Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, to name only two.

Donna can be reached at Trinity United Church on Mondays and Wednesdays 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. and on Thursdays from 8:30 to 11:00 a.m.

Looking for something part-time to fill her spare hours upon retirement from the Listowel Memorial Hospital, Barb brought her experience in housekeeping to Trinity. Once there, she picked up a paintbrush and cans of paint; scrubbed, stripped, and polished the floors to a mirror-like finish - refinished woodwork, and convinced her husband Jim to refinish the exterior doors to the church.

When not applying sparkle and shine with her magic mops and brooms, Barb enjoys spending time in the garden, or with family and friends exploring greenhouses and garden centres.

Barb can be reached through the church office.

Bryan Dippel, hairstylist and owner of ‘The Hairloom Shop’ is Trinity’s “Jack of all trades”. As the Trinity ‘Sanitary Engineer’, he is responsible for placing the garbage and recycling containers at the curb each week. Then, donning his ‘Security Badge’, and as Keeper of the church key, he ensures that the church doors are locked and secured each night. Bryan also shares his talent as a ‘Decorator Extraordinaire’ by voluntarily creating displays in the church sanctuary for special seasons throughout the year.

Donna Trimble joined Team Trinity in August 2022, as the Financial Administrator, after retiring from Home Hardware Head Office in St. Jacobs. She moved to Listowel in 2021, and established roots by purchasing a home here in May 2022. Wanting to be involved in her new community, she has joined VON exercise classes and the Listowel Curling Club, as well as attempting yoga and line dancing.

In her spare time, Donna enjoys quilting, reading and knitting and hopes to travel.  She is mother to two sons and two daughters. Donna is “Grammy” to eight wonderful grandchildren in Ontario and BC.

Donna can be reached at Trinity on Monday and Wednesday mornings.
