Big Bend Community College
Congratulations to Kathy Aldrich and Nancy Theis. Not only did we celebrate these veteran employees retirement after 45 years, they were also recognized for their years of service at the year end-celebration on June 7. Both received the Presidential Award for Meritorious Service. In true tradition of BBCC retirees, Kathy and Nancy were presented a personalized quilt handcrafted by a variety of talented BBCC colleagues.
Both of these ladies began their classified staff career at Big Bend Community College in 1974. They are loyal, trustworthy, and committed to the Mission, Vision, and Values of the college. Both have served on numerous committees over the years and shared their talent and skills in many ways. From teamwork or leadership, to sewing quilts for retirees, organizing and decorating for the many celebration events, or serving as a buddy while onboarding new employees.
Both have been known to say BBCC is their exetended family. Although they will miss seeing colleagues every day, they are excited for the journey and adventures they have planned.
Nancy worked in Business/Finance and Human Resources before transitioning in December 1995 to Maintenance and Operations. She is looking forward to spending time with her grandchildren, gardening, and finishing some of her own home projects.
Kathy worked for the Dean of Instruction, Educational Division and Word Service departments before transferring to the Library in January 1984. Kathy will continue enjoying traveling with her husband and friends on their motorcycle and finish some quilt projects of her own.
