Staff Transition in the Office of the Bishop

After nearly a year on the bishop’s staff as Executive Assistant to the Bishop and Diocesan Administrator, Cecilia Eaton will resign at the end of the month to move with her family to Illinois. Bishop Ruth Woodliff-Stanley expressed gratitude for her service to the diocese, as well as sadness about her departure.

“Cecilia stepped into this position at a time of significant transition in our diocese, and her professional experience and willingness to take on new challenges shone through from the very beginning,” said Bishop Woodliff-Stanley. “She took on a range of tasks quickly and proved to be an integral member of our team, supporting us through a fast-paced and demanding year.  While we are sad to see her leave us so soon, we send her off with our best wishes and prayers as she makes her way to a new home with her family.”

Prior to joining diocesan staff in February 2022, Eaton worked for 10 years at Bishop Gadsden Episcopal Retirement Community. As she prepares to move with her family to be closer to extended family in Illinois and Wisconsin, she reflected on her past year with the diocese with thanks and appreciation. “I feel very blessed for the time that I have had to work with all the wonderful people in the Diocese of South Carolina,” said Eaton. “I have met some amazing people in South Carolina and around the world within The Episcopal Church this past year and will miss their friendship.”

Her last day with the diocese will be Tuesday, January 31, 2023.
