Capt. Donna Rose, commanding officer for the Salvation Army in Bedford since 2010, is taking a new appointment in Granite City, Ill.

Rose will leave for her new post June 28.

Voigtschild has been a Salvation Army volunteer since 1972 dedicating 44 years of service. During that time, he served as chairman of the advisory board, bell ringer and assisted at accidents, fires ad weather events within the county.
