The Tarkio Board of Public Works and its customers said goodbye to office assistant Nancy Barrett on Thursday, March 31, 2022. Nancy is retiring after 13 1/2 years of service.

Tarkio Board of Public Works Office Assistant Nancy Barrett has retired after 13 1/2 years of service. She began her duties on September 26, 2008.

Although most Tarkio people remember Nancy for her dedication to teaching physical education to our youth for 33 years or working for a few years at the local group home, Nancy’s last 13 years have seen her providing smiles and receipts to those paying their water bills at the office on Main Street.

Now she can focus on spending more time with and spoiling her grandsons (with another on the way). She said she will definitely miss visiting with the people she worked with and her customers, though.

Refreshments were provided to customers who stopped by the office to wish Nancy farewell on Thursday, March 31, 2022. Taking Nancy’s place is Sara Lester of Tarkio.
