Today has been a bittersweet day. Today was the last day for our Jennifer Green.
Many years ago, I worked for Jennifer and her husband Dale during hay season. Jennifer would run the rake and I would bail the hay. Dale would be running around keeping things going ( Jennifer was BOSS). One day we were waiting on Dale to bring me bailing twine to the field. Jennifer was done raking and got off her tractor to hang out until Dale arrived. Out of the blue she asked “are you ever going to run for Sheriff?” I said yes probably someday and if I get elected will you come be my right hand? She agreed and we shook hands on the deal.
Few years later I get elected Sheriff of Coffee County and I made the call to Jennifer about the hayfield contract!
Jennifer Green came to work September 1st of 2018 and we hit the ground running. She has been an absolute rock for all of us! I know she has had some hard days with me and seen things happen that many would never understand in the past 8 years. She has been at my side during some terrible times and has always been the positive influence. She has done the work that most departments have 3 people doing. She has kept perfect books and records. Thanks to Jennifer we have had zero audit findings in 8 years! I am so proud of her and what she has accomplished for our department. She worked tirelessly to save money for our county, she took care of our HR files, she did our workmen’s compensation, she was secretary for the law enforcement committee. She did so many things that went unrecognized or even known about.
We have cried together, we have laughed together, and we have celebrated together.
Join me in thanking a true unwavering servant for our county.
Jennifer, we love you and we are happy that you blessed us these past 8 years. You are the gold standard!
Go enjoy the farm and that bus! Please don’t be a stranger and God Bless
Your Coffee County Sheriffs Office
And
Your Sheriff, always
