Pathfinder Village honors staff members
EDMESTON – Village employees celebrating major work anniversaries were honored during a special luncheon at The Otesaga Hotel on Wednesday, June 16. In all, 15 employees were recognized for their dedication to Village residents; all totaled, the honorees have served over 170 years.
Janett Wiswell, RN, was recognized for her 40 years working at Pathfinder Village and its predecessor, the Otsego School, a family-operated school for children with Down syndrome that was founded in Edmeston in 1922. Formerly the Director of Nursing for the Village, and a past-recipient of the Village’s Daniel C. Raasch Chair award, Mrs. Wiswell became a full-time employee of the Otsego School in 1970; prior to that she had been employed at the school during summers as a high school student.
Other honorees included 15-year veterans Sandy Caton, Julia Culver, Terry Ray and Kathy Roberts, who work as residential coaches, and Joyce Ray, who is a member of the Ancillary Services Department. Ten-year employees included Annie Fauss and Jeanette Nutt; five-year employees honored included Chris Daniel, Cheryl Goodspeed, Sophie Mott, Jamie Parks and Amanda Ray (all residential), Karen Cahill (enrichment) and Gary Rathbone (education).
Village Chief Executive Officer Paul C. Landers reminded the honorees that it is important to celebrate personal accomplishments, such as graduations and employment anniversaries, and thanked each individual for his commitment to service. “Each one of you here today has made a significant contribution to Pathfinder Village, but more importantly, you have made a difference to families and individuals with disabilities and helped them lead meaningful and purposeful lives. You should be proud of your accomplishments … I am!” said Landers.
