After more than 40 years of working at Stephens Memorial Hospital, Peggy Johnson was honored on her last day at the hospital with a reception at the O.C. Heairren Annex on Friday, July 15. Co-workers, former co-workers and family members where on hand to wish her goodbye and good luck with her retirement. Johnson said she will miss her job in the accounting department and her co-workers a lot after she leaves.
Johnson, who is originally from Harrisville, Rhode Island, started working at SMH in 1978. She moved to Breckenridge with her late husband Thomas Johnson when he came to work at KROO Radio.
During the reception, Chris Curtis, director of new business for Stephens Memorial Hospital, presented her with a plaque for her service and a framed photo of the SMH staff in front of the hospital signed by the employees.
