Crest Happenings
Thank You Crest Foods: Thank you for participating in the 2021 Salvation Army, Red Kettle Campaign! We raised over $15,600, which will go a long way toward fulfilling the needs of Lee County residents who are struggling to make
ends meet. Your group was awesome, as usual. Sincerely, John Holthaus, Dixon Kiwanis, Salvation Army Thanks so much for the plant, calls and texts while I was off for my surgery. I really appreciated it. Jim Nalley
Retirements Congratulations to Vickie Monsarratt on her retirement from Crest Foods. Vickie has been a part of the Crest Foods family for 22 years. She began as a Line Operator in 1999 and then became QA Systems Auditor. In 2014 QA had a restructure, and her path transitioned to a QA Line Tech on B-shift. Vickie volunteered to make the hard schedule change to C-shift, when 3rd shift was added, in 2015. This turned out to be a great fit for her and Crest foods. Vickie was a fantastic addition to the 3rd shift team bringing QA knowledge and experience with her to the new shift. She has spent the last 6 years on C Shift keeping things going smoothly. We’ve appreciated Vickie’s time, her dedication, her easy going style, her humor, and her input on all things QA. We love all that she did for us and now we want her to go and do all that she loves… pretty sure enjoying that new that new pup is on the top of her list. Congratulations and best wishes to a wonderful colleague and friend. Georgia Temmen has been a “lifer” at Crest spending over 41 years as a mainstay in our Contract Packaging Division’s Production Department. Virtually anyone who has worked on the production floor knows Georgia because of her outgoing personality. If asked, one could easily imagine Georgia explaining that she has seen it all at Crest…and she probably has. What she hasn’t seen enough of is her grandson Tucker and she has announced her well-earned retirement to remedy that situation by taking on her next full time role as grandma and chief babysitter. Georgia and Tucker stopped in for some farewell cake and said “see you later” to her former coworkers. Since she lives just down the street, no doubt we’ll probably be seeing Georgia often. We will miss her at work and wish her the best in retirement.
