GRANBY - Key Persons
I have served on the Pregnancy Resource Connection Board since February 2019 and currently serve as Secretary. My husband and I moved to Grand County in September 2018 where we soon met June Matson at church. After learning about this incredible ministry, I knew I wanted to get involved and that's when I joined the Board.
We recently welcomed our first child and I have the blessing to stay home to raise our son. I recently worked for the two school districts in our county bringing work-based learning opportunities to our students. Prior to that, I worked at the Granby Chamber of Commerce in various roles. I love PRC and feel honored and blessed to be part of such an incredible resource and source of connection it provides our women, men and children in Grand and Jackson Counties.
Chelsea holds a B.S. in Nursing from Regis University, a Masters in Nursing from Pensacola Christian College, and a post-Master's certificate in Certified Nurse Midwifery from the University of Colorado. She has worked as a pediatric nurse and mom/baby nurse for 20 years, has volunteered over 15 years of work at crisis pregnancy centers in Colorado and Florida, and has delivered over 100 babies. Chelsea runs the website www.crwomenshealth.com to offer her services.
My wife, Geri and I came to Colorado in 1972 after college in Nebraska. We have two daughters and four wonderful granddaughters. My passion for the unborn came during a sermon at our church in 1967, where our minister exclaimed that abortion was wrong. Many years later I listened to June Matson talk about her passion for the unborn. This prompted me to ask to be on the board of directors for the Pregnancy Recourse Connection in Granby.
During my almost five years on the board, I have witnessed the help that our entity provides to women that are pregnant to help save the lives of their unborn children. I believe that God's wishes are being served here and I am very proud to be on the board. We have moved to Arizona now and I am still excited that I am able to help.
I was born and raised, mostly, in Mansfield, LA then moved to Grand County in 1996. I met my husband here and we have three wonderful children. I started with Pregnancy Resource Connection in 2020 as an office administrator and later expanded that role to include bookkeeping. My journey with Pregnancy Resource Connection has been amazing and so much more than just providing administrative or accounting help. I get to interact with the remarkable people we see each day and share in their special journeys. I cannot imagine a better place on earth to work.

I graduated in 1975 with my Bachelors of Science degree in Nursing and began my career in Neonatal Nursing in 1976 at Strong Memorial Hospital in my hometown, Rochester, NY. I became a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP) in 1981 in Greenville, NC.
In 1984 our family moved to New Hampshire and I worked at Dartmouth Medical Center until 1988 when we moved to Littleton, CO. I worked as a NNP in Denver until 2011. While there, I received my certification as a Lactation Consultant in 2010. In 2011, I began 6 years of commuting to Pueblo. My last NNP job was in Pueblo, CO from 2011 to 2017.
Hi, I am Linda Mahon. I have been a volunteer in the office at PRC for many years. I recently changed my hat and am now on the board of directors. I have lived in Kremmling for 46 years, raised two children and been retired the last 5 years.
Born and raised in Albuquerque, NM, I then spent four years earning a BSEE from CU Boulder. After graduation, I worked for Westinghouse Electric Corporation in Raleigh, NC where I met my husband, Mark.
We moved three times due to Mark's job and I attended three different graduate schools until we moved to Chadds Ford, PA where we lived from 1981 until 2006. After earning an MSBA and PhDC, I spent the last 22 years of my career with Hewlett-Packard and then it's spinoff, Agilent Technologies. When I retired in 2006, we moved to Jupiter, FL.
The majority of my retirement has been working with church ministries and conservative civic organizations … that is, when I am not visiting our grandchildren in the Boston area.
