In the ever-changing landscape of our company, there is one constant that we are all thankful for, that is Carrie Garry. She has been a valuable and dedicated team member for over 30 years to LGE. Once upon a time, in the 1990s all scale tickets were sent to the office and manually entered. Carrie was hired to review those entries for errors. That process was an 8-hour day with two employees devoting their entire shift. Today we process over 3,200 tickets a day. She remembers the segregated coffee breaks taken during the work day, women first shift, men took the second. Carrie doesn’t miss the strict no food, drink, or radios at your desk rule or the 40 pounds of incoming daily mail. If she could revive an older tradition it would be the small group out-of-the-office lunch outings. While we are most grateful to her for ensuring we receive our pay 26 times a year, her contributions day after day are so much more than that. Carrie is the friendly voice on the phone and the first person to greet you when entering the office. Other tasks she assists with are our vehicle licensing, maintaining the certificate of insurance database, accounts payable, haul reports, ordering office supplies, and most importantly figuring out how to operate our new tech-savvy copier/scanner machine. All of these responsibilities and Carrie’s willingness to assist in other areas helps keep our department and company on track. Characteristics that describe her are organized, dependable, knowledgeable, helpful, holiday cake baker, and local supplier of cream cheese mints.
Her involvement within the community she has resided in her entire life includes being a Harrisburg Tiger super fan. She has served as a Junior Olympic Volleyball officer and volunteer coach.
She is truly someone that is an “unsung” hero.
