Dear Colleagues,
It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of our former colleague and friend, Kathy Vokoun. Kathy dedicated over 30 years of her life to the Dairy Store, where she worked from 1989 until her retirement in 2020.
A memorial service to celebrate Kathy's life will be held: Date: Tuesday, January 5th Time: 2:00 PM Location: Lincoln Memorial
Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time.
With sympathy, Russell Parde
