Erin Farnsel

Erin is originally from Michigan but attended Ohio Northern University and started her career in public accounting in Toledo. There she met her husband, Curtis, who is also from the Toledo area. They moved out to Oklahoma City where he pursued his PhD in Accounting at the University of Oklahoma. After graduation, he accepted a position as an accounting professor at UD in 2019 and in 2026 was granted tenure!

They love being back closer to family as they now have a seven year old first grader at Smith, Margot, and a five year old preschooler, Jay. They’ve loved exploring the Dayton area and you'll definitely spot them at the OCC pool in the summer! You'll also find Erin volunteering at Smith, serving as Treasurer of the Wright Memorial Public Library Foundation, and subbing at Little Acorn Academy.

Erin has been active in the MOMs group for several years, first serving as the Field Trips Coordinator and most recently as Treasurer. Erin loves exploring the city and connecting with the moms in our community. There are so many fun annual events that she looks forward to every year.

She moved to Dayton shortly after college, where she started her career as the Life Enrichment/ Wellness coordinator for the Masonic Home in Springfield. She graduated from Trine University with a degree in Exercise Science. Stephanie met her husband in 2014 while he was stationed here at WPAFB.

“I joined the MOMs group where I met and got to know a wonderful group of ladies and have been grateful to make many new friendships through the years. Oakwood truly is a special place and I enjoy being part of such a great community.” — Stephanie
