TODD & PAULA MOEGGENBORG

Paula is originally from the village of Freesoil, Michigan, nestled between Manistee and Ludington, and somehow found her way to Gratiot County after graduating from CMU and working in Detroit. Todd was born and raised in Alma, attended Alma High School, and is an Alma College alumnus. Todd and Paula have been married for 33 years. After 21 years with JCPenney—serving the last four as store manager—Paula transitioned to the Gratiot County Commission on Aging, where she is the Nutrition Coordinator overseeing the Home Delivered Meal Program, which provides more than 1,200 meals each week to seniors across Gratiot County. As of November 2025, Todd began working for Gratiot County as the Financial Services Director. In this role, he works closely with the County Board of Commissioners, elected officials, and department managers, assisting with grant reporting, financial reviews, and budget development and monitoring. He also serves as Treasurer for Pine River Township and maintains a small tax practice. Both Paula and Todd served on the Alma Highland Festival committee for 30 years, which means you’ll often spot them proudly wearing kilts around town when the time is right. Paula is a board member for RISE Advocacy (formerly Women’s AID), and Todd is a longtime board member of United Way of Greater Central Michigan. Fun fact: Todd plays the tenor saxophone, and Paula is well known for her amazing cinnamon rolls.
