Through the networking of friends, the Coffmans’ learned to know Theda and Dawn.

She is delighted to be serving folks in the greater Shenandoah Valley area with their needs for shutters, shades and blinds.
Dawn grew up on a farm near Hershey, Pennsylvania. She earned an MBA and has held various roles as Assistant to the Provost, Budget Officer, Registrar’s Office, and Advancement Division in three different higher education institutions. She has enjoyed working behind the scenes to support and tend to the needs of university administration. Now ready for a change, she is eager to apply her business skills to ensure that Shutters Up continues to serve the people in this area.
