Jill Rigby Garner

Jill Rigby Garner of Baton Rouge serves as the Board's secretary. She is the mother of twin sons--Chad and Boyce--both of whom are graduates of LSU. Jill and her sons are active members of First Presbyterian Church. God is using Jill’s deep-South gentility (she was born in Vicksburg), her gift for creative writing, and her love of children to bless many through the outstanding manners and etiquette curriculum Jill developed entitled Manners of the Heart. Jill is a frequent speaker at women's retreats, luncheons, and club groups. With the curriculum already being used in the public schools of more than half a dozen states, we at LFF are excited to see how God is using this talented and lovely lady.
