Ruth Huyler Glass

Ruth Huyler Glass spent summers growing up on the Rocking H Ranch near Teton Village with her parents, Margaret and Jack Huyler, and her brothers. They attended The Chapel of Transfiguration every Sunday, where the kids’ duties were to collect and store hymnals and (on a lucky day), ring the bell. Once she and Wayne Glass married in 1968, visits to the ranch were limited, with their two now well-grown daughters, Hillary and Allison. Since retirement in 2018, they split their time between Jackson and Incline Village, NV. Ruth spent her professional career as a teacher, administrator, Head of School and remains on a few school boards. She's passionate about education, the “care and feeding” of children, teacher training, affordable workforce housing, and DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion). Since returning to St. John’s, she volunteers in a variety of ministries, including the Thursday Women’s Lunch Group.

Cora Ligori

Cora moved to Jackson in 2007 following her marriage to Jim Ligori, a Jackson native, who she met at a summer camp in the North Carolina mountains. Jim had been attending St. John’s since he joined the Youth Group in middle school making St. John’s the obvious choice for a church home. Having a heart for teenagers, Cora served the St. John’s Youth Group for 5 years under Trent Moore, being the chaperon for many youth ski and summer trips. Cora has served as the Chair of the Evangelism Committee since 2015. Jim and Cora are both camp directors for Teton Valley Ranch Camp and spend their summers in Dubois, WY. They have three children, Elsie, George and Jamie, who feel the church is their home-away-from-home. They can often be seen running through the halls of the church (sorry about that) and eating anything they can find in Hansen Hall.

Trey Overdyke

Trey has lived in Wyoming off and on since 2001 and full-time in Jackson since 2010. Trey and his wife Tricia were married at The Chapel of the Transfiguration in 2012 and both their children were baptized at St. John’s. Trey and his family are active supporters of all that SJEC has to offer as well as growing new opportunities to serve. (We typically sit in the back right of the church and apologies for all the noise.) Trey and his family feel very blessed to call this church and town home. Trey is a partner at Holland & Hart and specializes in operational risk-management and emergency response for companies across the country. Prior to law school, Trey was a field instructor with the National Outdoor Leadership School.

They have four wonderful grandchildren. Carol served on the Search Committee for Frank Johnson and Ken Asel, and Ed served on the vestry during the construction of the “big” church.
