Catherine Keith, 35, also diverted notifications about the accounts, so they went to her instead of to the named borrowers, and that she violated credit union policy when she handled the accounts of relatives.
Keith has repaid $36,000 of the money but still owes about $10,000, a debt she said relatives are helping her repay.
She was sentenced to three years in prison, suspended after she serves 10 days.
