Two Newberry County Government employees were recognized on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, during the Newberry County Council Meeting.
The first employee to be recognized was Carolyn “Jessie” Long, director of Newberry County Parks and Recreation, for her five years of service to Newberry County. County Administrator Jeff Shacker said he has been impressed with the work Jessie has done during her time in Newberry County Recreation. He further said this of Jessie:
“She is very capable and utilizes technology to solve problems, allowing her to run multiple projects at once. Jessie was a college athlete and has a love for recreation. She enjoys teaching youth and strives to create the best environment for them to have fun, complete and learn about the sports they are playing.
“Since 2017, the participation in our recreation programs have more than doubled. A lot of credit goes to Jessie and her predecessors. Jessie has done an excellent job of sustaining the momentum they started and taking it to another level.”
Jackie Kenney (not pictured) was also recognized for her recent retirement from Newberry County Government. Jackie worked for eight years at the Newberry County Assessor’s Office. County Administrator Jeff Shacker had this to say of Jackie:
“This was a second career for Jackie, working in the Newberry County Assessor’s Office where real property is valued for tax purposes and it is complicated. She handled legal residencies and customer service. Jackie has a way of working with customers, getting to know them, and providing good customer service. She did a really good job for us and we will miss her.”
