Ruffner is also an active member of Sperry’s Run Community Church, where she serves as a council member and treasurer, as well as a member of the Ladies Aid organization.

Amanda Wilkins, newly promoted to Head Teller, has consistently demonstrated exceptional customer service and leadership skills during her tenure with Capon Valley Bank. Her commitment to providing personalized banking experiences has earned her recognition from both customers and colleagues.
