Mrs. Stark lives in Kansas City, MO, with her husband of 26 years. She and her husband have two sons - their oldest just got married in March 2026 and currently works full-time on staff at their church. Their younger son is starting his second year of college and also works as a manager at Panera. Mrs. Stark and her family enjoy serving in various ministries at church, as well as spending time together playing games or just sharing a meal. She enjoys watching sports (especially cheering on the KC Chiefs and KU Jayhawks!), playing pickleball, hosting gatherings at her home, playing board games, reading, and sometimes running, which tends to conflict with her love of ice cream.
