Deerfield woman charged with embezzling from church

Recent indictments filed in Superior Court allege that South Deerfield resident Jeanne Elizabeth Grover, 46, previously charged with embezzling upward of $30,000 from Stillwater Condominium Association, also took money from the First Church of Deerfield.

“Between the two victims, this is $60,000, approximately,” said Deerfield Police officer Adam Sokoloski, who oversaw an investigation that led to Grover’s arrest Sept. 21, 2017. Most recently, the First Church of Deerfield alleged that Grover, who worked as an administrative assistant there, stole more than $20,000 from congregation members.

According to an initial report filed by Sokoloski in District Court, a representative of the Stillwater Condominium Association came to the police station after being contacted by Greenfield Savings Bank’s fraud and theft prevention division, which reported that $18,173 had been transferred from the condo association’s account without approval over about five years.
