Last month we welcomed the newest member of the Lake County Coroner's Office family. Deputy Coroner Julia Schwertner was sworn in and brought us to full staff. Julia comes to the Lake County Coroner's Office from Port Clinton, Ohio, where she was a lead investigator at the Ottawa County Coroner's Office. We are excited to add Julia, and her education and experience, to our team!

Today we’re celebrating two of the absolute backbone members of the Lake County Coroner's Office, Alexa and Karina, for Administrative Professionals Day!

Behind every report, every perfectly timed reminder, and every “how did this get fixed/done so fast?” moment… you’ll find them quietly making it all happen. They keep things running smoothly, keep us organized, and somehow manage to do it all with professionalism, compassion and patience.

Alexa and Karina, your hard work does not go unnoticed. We appreciate your dedication, your attention to detail, and your ability to keep everything, and everyone, on track.

Thank you for everything you do to support this office and our community. We’d be lost without you (and significantly more disorganized).
