Mar. 21, 2025 Kindred Speakers: Jennifer Cromartie

Jennifer Cromartie has taught middle school humanities, drama, and art at Rivendell School for 27 years, a job she has loved because of the many special relationships forged over time. A widow of 7 years, she has navigated the worlds of cancer, loss and loneliness —thanks to God’s unfailing mercy and her remarkable friends. She has 3 grown children each with their own gifts and stories to tell. She is the author of a young adult novel, Our Brief Hours of Play about the cost of true friendship. Her happy spot is kayaking on the Potomac, and her boat is in the trunk of her car ready for a spontaneous adventure.
