Rea & Associates Names Recipient Of Annual Marcia Stutzman Memorial Scholarship
Millersburg, Ohio – Emma Bergoon, a senior at West Holmes High School and resident of Killbuck, Ohio, is the eighth recipient of Rea & Associates’ annual Marcia Stutzman Memorial Scholarship.
The employees of Rea and Associates, in conjunction with The Rea Foundation, continue to honor and recognize Stutzman’s legacy through a memorial scholarship, which is directed and managed by the Holmes County Education Foundation.
