CLERGY SERVICE RECORD
ROLL OF CONFERENCE MEMBERSHIP AND
RECORD OF CLERGY SERVICE
This roll and record have been carefully prepared and are submitted to each clergy person for approval and correction. If
there are any errors, please notify your District Office in writing. This record is not to be considered the basis for
calculating official years of service. Such information is accurately and officially kept by the Board of Pensions. No
pastoral service before the date of admission on probation is recorded; and lay pastor appointments are omitted. The year
mentioned is the year the appointment was made. Remember that the Conference session shifted from fall to spring in
1942, making 1941 a short year. If no Conference is named after the dates of reception on probation or in full
membership, it is to be understood that the Conference is Northern Illinois.
The former German Conference merged with contiguous Conferences in 1933. The Methodist Protestant Church, the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and the Methodist Episcopal Church united to form the Methodist Church in 1939.
The former Swedish Conference merged in 1942, and the former Norwegian-Danish Conference in 1943. As of these
dates, former members of these conferences became members of the Rock River Conference. In 1968 the Evangelical
United Brethren Church merged with the Methodist Church to form The United Methodist Church. The portion of the
Illinois Conference of the Evangelical United Brethren Church falling within the bounds of the former Rock River
Conference merged with said Conference to form the Northern Illinois Conference of The United Methodist church.
Since the addresses appear in the Clergy Directory, they are not reproduced here.

Marcella K. Saltzman
October 13, 1950 - January 27, 2011
Marcy was born Friday, October 13, 1950 to Mabel Marcella (Michel) Kovach and
Alexander Kovach. She was raised in Alsip, Illinois and resided there from the age of two
until she was married.
Marcy attended Don Robert’s School of Beauty. Her first job was as a licensed beautician
and cosmetologist. Marcy preferred to say she was a hairdresser. She worked for Don
Willima’s at 109th and Western Avenue in Chicago. Later she became a front end clerk
and cashier at McDonald’s. She worked at the corporate restaurant at the Yorktown Mall
in Lombard and later in Woodridge. In 1989 she went to work for Joliet Township High
School District #204 as a paraprofessional working with students that had behavioral
disorder issues. She retired after 20 years of service in December 2009.
She met her future husband, Rev. James C. Saltzman, at Grace UMC in Blue Island in
1971. They were united in marriage June 17, 1973. The late Rev. Dr. Willie B. Clay, and
Rev. Carl Sattelberg, officiated the ceremony. Part of Marcy’s vow included the passage
from Ruth 1:16b: …”for where you go I will go, where you live I will live; your people
shall be my people, and your God my God.” After several years of being married to an
itinerant pastor, Marcy said that if she and Jim ever renewed their marriage vows, she
was rewriting hers. At the time of their wedding, she didn’t have a clue what she was
committing to marring an itinerant minister.
Marcy did go with Jim to appointments at First UMC Lansing; Earville UMC; Trinity
UMC Joliet; Christ the Redeemer Naperville; First UMC Mendota; Grace UMC Joliet,
and Friendship UMC Bolingbrook. Margie Bradley got Marcy involved in Christian
Education. Marcy attended and taught curriculum previews and lab schools. She taught
Church school at several locations, assisted Jim with Confirmation and Directed Vacation
Bible School. She started a young adult Sunday school class in Mendota.
Marcy and Jim’s son, Jack, was born November 16, 1976, Sarah Ann was born April 9,
1985.
Marcy bravely fought breast cancer stage 4 that metastasized into her bones, since it was
diagnosed in Nov ember of 2005. Mary attributed her survival not only to excellent
medical care, but to her Christian faith, the love of her family, and the prayers of many
people.

Marcy died January 27, 2011 at the Hospice Care Facility in Joliet, Illinois. Her Service
of Death and Resurrection was held at Fred C. Dames Funeral Home in Joliet, Illinois on
February 5, 2011. Marcy designed the whole service herself and made her own funeral
arrangement accompanied by her family.
Marcie chose to be buried at the Woodlawn Cemetery across from the Joliet Area
Airport. She knew how much her husband, Jim, liked watching the planes take off and
land., so she figured there was a better chance that he would visit her grave site.
