In the heart of Orange County, a pair of unsung heroes are clocking out for the last time. After keeping the digital cogs turning for decades, Karen Norrell and Theresa Cody of the Orange County IT Department are embarking on the retirement phase of their lives. Norrell celebrates a remarkable 40 years of service, and Cody is right behind her with 38 years.
Theirs is a tenure that speaks not just to longevity but to a steadfast dedication that has seen every corner of county operations humming along. A recent social media post from the Orange County Government pays homage to these ladies, stating, "For nearly four decades, Karen and Theresa have kept systems running in every corner of County Government." The post elaborates on how their "dedication and work ethic have helped countless colleagues and make a difference in our County."
Norrell and Cody made contributions that supported daily operations within the department over many years. With their retirement, Orange County IT will adjust as new staff take on responsibilities previously held by the longtime employees.
A send-off is due for these titans of tech, with the County calling on colleagues and community to join in the celebration of their extraordinary commitment. And it's indeed "well-earned," as the post by the Orange County Government sums up, inviting everyone to wish "them the very best in this well-earned next chapter."
