Maria Guenther has traveled to Guatemala, Mexico, Ireland, and New Orleans participating in more than 15 mission trips since she was a teenager. She grew up in Horicon and resides in Beaver Dam, where she works as a certified nursing assistant at Beaver Dam Community Hospitals, Inc. Home Health Care. She has strong roots in her local community but also treasures the connections she has made around the world.
It is her commitment to putting family first that has her taking a hiatus from travels abroad and instead focusing her volunteer efforts closer to home. Guenther lives with and cares for her 94-year-old grandma, mentors a group of local teenage girls, and is now a volunteer and ambassador for Blue Zones Project Dodge County.
