“My family moved to Galloway Village from Memphis, TN, in 2004. We have thoroughly enjoyed raising our 3 children in this historic, scenic area. We have made many lasting memories in Galloway, from witnessing a wrecking ball demolish the Ash Grove Lime Plant to seeing hundreds of bats fly across Barton Road, heading out for their nightly hunt. My favorite things about living in Galloway Village are the sense of community, the wildlife, and the convenience to area businesses.”

Vice President Judy Stainback“Hello Galloway Neighbors! My name is Judy Stainback, the “old lady” of the GVNA board! I retired in April 2020, and promptly got to enjoy the stay-at-home order because of nasty Covid! My favorite summer time activity is growing flowers! I probably have about 50 different plants to take care of and enjoy seeing the blooms as the seasons progress. Galloway area is such an oasis of nature that I hope we have to enjoy for years. We need our neighbors to help us make that dream a reality by educating yourselves on what is going on around us, working to preserve what we have and protect it for our children and grandchildren! Volunteer your time, talents and treasures (financial support!) so our Galloway can be an oasis for years to come! Let me know if I can help you connect with us!
Secretary Jacque Thummel
“My family has lived and worked in the Galloway area since the early 1900s. Words can not describe how great it was to grow up in this area. Galloway is rich in history and richer in loving and caring families. Many founding families or their descendants still reside here. I initially got involved with GVNA after hearing life long residents voicing concerns about their family properties. I continue to be involved to help future residents. Having grown up in Galloway, I of course went to Sequiota School. In 1971, Sequiota 5th graders researched and compiled a book about Galloway. Although I was too young to have been involved with the creation of this book, I still love the dedication of it. It is as follows, “To all future Generations of Galloway. Love your land as we have.” My hope is to be part of a group and generation that still sees value in preserving and protecting the character, green spaces and the wildlife of Galloway so children in future generations can also say, Galloway was a great place to grow up.”

Treasurer Wendy Huscher“Sequiota Park drew my husband and I to this area in 1992. We started our business, About Faces Photography, and we started our family and we never left. We see the value in the trees and the wildlife that this area offers and we vow to protect it! If you take those assets away, you lose what we came here for. We have treasured living and working in our “portrait park” while still being five minutes from the mall for 25 years. I am fighting to be able to have my grandchildren visit and have it still feel like Galloway.”
