THERE IS SAYING
IF YOU LOVE YOUR WORKING IT IS
NOT WORK AT ALL.
THAT MUST HAVE BEEN THE CASE
FOR A ST. PAUL WOMAN WHO WORKED
TILL SHE WAS 84 YEARS OLD.
SHE HAD THIS WARMTH THAT
RADIATED FROM HER.
YET MADE YOU FEEL BETTER.
HER MOST RECENT STORE WAS AT
TARGET.
SHE WORKED THERE FOR 29 YEARS.
SHE WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR HER
INCREDIBLE WORK ETHIC AND
OPTIMISM.
EACH TARGET STORE IS UNIQUE.
PART OF WHAT MADE THE ONE ON
SUBURBAN AVENUE SPECIAL WAS A
LITTLE LADY WITH GRAY HAIR.
YOU COULD FIND HER NEAR THE
FITTING ROOMS OR CHATTING WITH
CUSTOMERS.
SHE WAS THE SWEETEST PERSON
THEY KNEW.
SHE WAS ALWAYS SO INTERESTED IN
PEOPLE.
SHE WAS FORTUNATE SHE DIDN'T
HAVE TO WORK BUT SHE ENJOYED IT.
SHE ALWAYS WORKED OUTSIDE THE
HOME.
EVEN IN THE 1950s WHEN SOCIETY
SOMETIMES FROWNED ON IT.
SHE WAS AN UNDER WRITER FROM
STATE FARM.
BACK THEN SHE COULDN'T SIGN HER
FULL NAME BECAUSE SHE WAS A
WOMAN UNDER WRITING AND THAT WAS
USUALLY A MAN'S JOB.
IN THE MID 1970s SHE WENT TO
WORK FOR ST. PAUL PUBLIC SCHOOLS
IN A ROLE THAT WAS A GREAT FIT
FOR HER WARM PERSONALITY.
SHE ENROLLED STUDENTS THAT
CAME FROM VIETNAM AND SAIGON.
HER PLAYFUL SIDE SEEMED TO
COME OUT EVERY YEAR AROUND
MARCH.
SHE WAS AN IRISH WANT TO BE.
SHE LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT ST.
PATRICK'S DAY.
SHE WAS OF FISH AND --
SWEDISH AND GERMAN
DECENT.
IT TURNED OUT SHE WAS 6%
IRISH AND SHE WAS TICKLED.
WE HOPE TO BE HALF OF A
WONDERFUL PERSON SHE WAS.
BACK TO YOU.
