Rest Well Fay. Thank you for your love for Pressley Ridge and decades of your commitment to our mission and vision.

The Pressley Ridge family has lost a true friend with the passing of long-time board member Fay Mosle, who passed away on Sunday, June 29th surrounded by her family.

Fay was a true original — highly intellectual, intensely curious, and always energetic as an unwavering champion for children and families. For nearly three decades, Fay gave generously of her time, wisdom, and compassion in service to our mission. She helped guide Pressley Ridge through times of growth and change, always centering her actions on the needs of those we serve.

Susanne Cole, President and CEO, is proud to have had the honor of working with Fay for many years. “We are so grateful for Fay's leadership and unwavering support over the past 30 years. Her passion for the education and wellbeing of youth made her a true champion for the kids and families of Pressley Ridge. She will be greatly missed."

In recognition of her extraordinary contributions, the Fay Mosle Generosity Award was established in 2019 to honor Pressley Ridge staff members who exemplify the same kindness, empathy, and commitment that defined her life. That award now stands as a living testament to her impact—one which will inspire our team and benefit countless young people and families for generations to come.

💙 Meet the Carpenter family! 💙
Troy and Christine Carpenter would say "maybe someday" when it came to expanding their family. When Christmas 2022 came around, they knew that "someday" was here.

After becoming certified treatment foster parents, they received a phone call—not about one child, but three.

“It was very scary,” Christine recalled. “But something just felt right.” Read the full story to see how this one phone call brought this family together: https://www.pressleyridge.org/stories/carpenter-family/
