Fanchion Blumenberg

Dr. Fanchion Blumenberg was born in Eufaula, Alabama, and at an early age relocated to Chicago with her grandmother, Evangelist Hannah Brown. While growing up in the Rockwell Gardens Project on the Westside of Chicago, educational and spiritual pursuits helped shift her preoccupation with the problems of poverty, despair, and discriminate practices to visualizations of a life filled with God’s love, faith, and limitless possibilities.

Dr. Blumenberg’s academic accomplishments include a B.A. Degree in Elementary Education, M.A. Degree in Teaching Learning Disabled Children, M.A. Degree in Administration and Supervision of Public Schools, and a Doctorate Degree from Loyola University in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies with a Superintendent of Schools Endorsement.

Dr. Blumenberg worked for the Chicago Public Schools for 34 years as a teacher, Dean of Students, Assistant Principal, and Principal of John F. Kennedy High School. After retiring from Chicago Public Schools she worked as the Chief Deputy Clerk for the Civil Division for the Circuit Court in Cook County, the Executive Clerk for the Honorable Dorothy Brown, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County, and presently works as a Midwest Clinical Supervisor for Western Governors University in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Dr. Blumenberg has been married for 45 years to Elder Ronald Blumenberg, Pastor of Faith Temple Church of God In Christ. She’s the biological mother of Rhonda Curry (deceased) and Ronald Blumenberg II, the foster mother of Eunice Toole and Terry Ewing, and the grandmother of Terrance Curry II and Ronald Blumenberg III.
