As long as I have known Mary Ann, she not only wanted to be a nurse, but to be the best. After years of practice, she is retiring from her full-time position at St. Joseph’s in Bryan, Texas. Today, friends, peers and family will be gathering to celebrate her service to people and a profession she loves dearly. Mary Ann is truly the “poster-child” for people who love their job, which is way I have referenced her often in my years of career counseling.
This is not to say that she hasn’t been looking forward to this day, for she has been counting the days. Although she is about to start a new life phase, she will not be turning her back on her life’s profession, which will make her new life phase the best of both worlds. The position Mary Ann has held will be filled, but no one can replace her devotion to caring for others and to sharing her knowledge and skills.
