Jory is a native of the area, growing up in Arnold and attending Severna Park High School many years ago. She is a mother of four children, triplets plus one. They attended nursery school at the pre-school at St. Martin’s-in-the-field and her mother-in-law was a devoted parishioner.

Jory is very involved in fostering animals for the local shelters, loves to be on the water or hiking the local trails and hanging out with her grandsons.
