Employee honored for working for more than 47 years

Deborah Alexander, known as DeeBee at Sunny Hill Nursing Home of Will County, stands just to the left of the podium with the certificate she received for being what is believed to be the longest serving employee in county history. She works in the Environmental Services Department. By the time she retires in October she will have worked for the county for 47 years and nine months. That is seven months longer than what is believed to be the old record. 

Other members of the Environmental Services Department, as well as residents, came with Administrator Becky Haldorson (in red at the podium) to honor DeeBee. 

The presentation was awarded at the July 18 meeting of the Will County board in the County Office Building, 302 N. Chicago St. .
