Lake Ballinger Team

Sheila Tallmon, Executive Director

Sheila is a musician, dancer, hiker, poet, mentor, and all-around joy-seeker. Having spent the majority of her career in the youth development/summer camps industry (most recently as the Executive Director for a camp in the San Juan Islands), she is thrilled to be working with the senior community at the Lake Ballinger Center! She lives with her wonderful partner and sweet cat in Lynnwood and loves building community in this little slice of northwest paradise.

Gloria Mairs, Assistant Director

Gloria has worked with the Lake Ballinger Center for over six years, building strong relationships with the entire community. As a senior herself, she is committed to facilitating quality programs and services within all facets of the Center. Gloria was born in this area and loves calling it home with her 19-yr-old kitty, Lisa Marie.

Lyn Fouch, Hospitality

Lyn has lived in the Seattle area for the last 30 years and has been involved with the Lake Ballinger Center for the last two years. She is excited to work in such a vibrant center that reaches out to our community through events, program, and resources. It’s always a new day working at the Center and she loves it! Lyn lives Mountlake Terrace and has been married to her husband, Richard (who is a fantastic volunteer at our Center), for 43 years. She loves to sail and hike and also enjoys being out in nature.
