What positions have you held while at Culver?
Yvonne: "I was hired as a Teachers Aide, then a secretary. I have been in the office for 13+ years. I loved both positions but truly loved the office!"

Yvonne: "There are so many memories, the ones that are close to my heart are ones with my children & grandchildren."
What will you miss most about working at Culver?
Yvonne: "I will miss staff & the smiles on children's faces! There are only a few of us left at CES that have been here over 20 years, they are like family to me"
What are your retirement plans?
Yvonne: "I hope to stay very busy with my kids & grandkids. My daughter, son in-law and 4 grandchildren live in Culver and they make my day everyday! My son and daughter in-law live in the Outer Banks, NC. I plan to travel when life gets a little more normal."
Who has been the most influential person to you while you have worked at CES?
