Ressel-Hodan named Pentwater Citizen of the Year.

PENTWATER — The Pentwater Service Club has named Dr. Claudia Ressel-Hodan 2021 Pentwater Citizen of the Year. In taking the honor, Ressel-Hodan adds her name to the list of previous winners that make up the Pentwater Citizen of the Year alumni, a veritable ‘who’s who’ list of Pentwater community leaders for nearly 50 years.

Ressel-Hodan was nominated several times for her work on the Pentwater-Hart Trail, the rehabilitation of Park Place in Pentwater, her work on behalf of numerous not-for-profit organizations and the Village of Pentwater, where she currently is serving her third year of a four-year term as a council member.

“Claudia has been a gift to our community since arriving with her husband Jerry in 2014,” said Mike Flynn, PSC member who manages the Citizen of the Year program. “Claudia won this prized honor for all the selfless work she does on behalf of so many Pentwater community organizations and the positive impact she’s had on them,” Flynn said.

There will be a community dinner Sept. 30 to honor Dr. Ressel-Hodan.
