Meet the Teacher

"Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty." -- Albert Einstein


This year is my 36th year of teaching at Immaculate Conception School in Bellevue, Ohio. I am married to Bruce Pump and I live in Oak Harbor. Bruce is retired from Whirlpool in Clyde. I have two stepchildren named Ryan and Heather. Ryan died on September 19, 2015, and he is always in my thoughts and prayers. Sadly, Heather also passed away on February 12, 2021. While we miss our children very much we still find blessings in our life. We enjoy family time, jet skiing, and boating.
