Our Lady of the Snows has hired a new Music Coordinator

Introducing Ashley Mekeel

Ashely was born in rural, northern Illlinois. She and her husband, Keith, felt drawn to move to the mountains of Idaho after a cross-country trip in the summer of 2019, and have been living in the Wood River Valley since November of 2019. They have two much-adored puppies who enjoy hiking adventures with Ashley.

Ashely holds a Bachelor's of Music Education and a Masters of Arts degree in Piano Performance from the University of Iowa. The thing that she enjoys most as a musician is to collaborate with choirs, vocalists and instrumentalists.

She currently teaches music at Syringa Mountain School in Hailey, and previously taught K-12 music in Shoshone, as well as piano at several music academies and a community college back in Illinois.

Ashley looks forward to working with the musicians at Our Lady of the Snows and St. Charles Borromeo parishes.
