Featuring Marsha Randall, switchboard operator
1. How did you end up at Olivet?
I have been at Olivet for 12 years. I had cleaned Manteno Nazarene Church for several years, but was interested in working at Olivet to help get my boys through college. What I found when I got here was a home with a tremendous Christian atmosphere!
2. You're retiring next Friday. What will you miss most about Olivet?
I will most certainly miss all of the wonderful friends that I have made here while working in several different departments over the years. If I could pack them all up, along with all of Shine.fm, and take them with me, I would do it in a heartbeat!
3. What are your retirement plans?
My husband and I plan to spend much more time with our sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren, who all live in Missouri. We are moving to southern Illinois, which makes us much closer to them and to our mothers, as well.
4. What are your hobbies?
I absolutely love reading Christian fiction. I also enjoy gardening. After we move, I plan to put in a kitchen garden and start canning and freezing vegetables like I did when my sons were little. We have seven pecan trees that will keep us busy. We might even go into the pecan-selling business!
5. If you could give one piece of advice to your replacement, what would it be?
My advice would be to always treat the ONU callers with respect, friendship and - most of all - loving, Christian understanding!
