Mary Kay is the Executive Director of CASA Voices for Children. She has a degree in Elementary Education from USAO and a Masters of Education from Oklahoma University.
   She has been involved with various school systems for 32 years as an aide, secretary and teacher. She retired to be a stay at home grandma until her grandchildren moved out of state.  She presently resides in Chickasha with her husband, Leonard.  They are the proud parents of two children and five grandchildren.  She loves working for CASA because she believes every child should have the opportunity to have a safe and nurturing home.

Donna Ohl

Donna is the Volunteer Coordinator for CASA Voices for Children, Inc.  After retiring from teaching in the Chickasha Public Schools in 2005, she felt that she still wanted to contribute to the children in her community.  CASA has turned out to be the perfect match for her desires.  She says that she is amazed by the way volunteer advocates are able to improve the lives of abused and neglected children.

Donna is a life-long resident of Grady County where she and her husband, Bill have raised three children.  Her favorite activities, when she is not working with CASA, are her three grandchildren, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, and OSU football and basketball.

JAN KNIGHT

Jan is the newest addition to the CASA staff.  She was trained as a volunteer in September 2007 and in December 2007 accepted a position as Volunteer Coordinator.  Jan was born and raised in Lawton, Oklahoma where she graduated from Eisenhower High School.

In April 2007, Jan and her husband Paul moved to Chickasha after accepting the pastorate at First Assembly of God Church.  As a minister’s wife Jan is heavily involved in the activities of her church family.  She plays keyboard for the worship team and is a vocalist for the team as well.  Jan has taught at all age levels of Sunday School and enjoys teaching weekend seminars with her husband. 

Jan and Paul have one daughter, Stacy, and one grandson, Kody, who is their greatest joy!  In her spare time, Jan enjoys music, reading, camping, boating and any other activity that allows her to spend time with her family.  She feels that if she can make a difference in the life of just one child, her time with CASA will have been well spent.
