The Spencerville Ambulance Service hasn’t known a time that Barbara Coil wasn’t volunteering there. Since its inception 46 years ago, you can find Coil doing just about any job there is, in this volunteer organization. "I guess I’ve always helped people," Coil said. "That’s what I wanted to do when I got out of school was be a nurse and so this just fit in to my lifestyle, I guess." Coil has held every office in the ambulance service. Most recently she has been the treasurer for the last 23 years. But that’s not stopping her from serving in the field. You can find Coil going out on calls as she is an advanced EMT.
