Newberry County Council had the pleasure of recognizing three Newberry County employees this month for their dedicated years of service.
First, Sheena Owens was recognized for five years of service with the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office. County Administrator Ted Luckadoo shared:
"Sheena works under Sgt. Cearley on A-Shift and does her job to the best of her ability every day."
Next, Deanna Wilbanks was recognized for 15 years of service with the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office. Mr. Luckadoo shared:
"Deanna began her career with Newberry County at the Detention Center in 2011. In 2013, she became the school resource officer at Newberry High School. She was promoted to lieutenant in 2020. Deanna handles the sex offender registry and warrants for the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office. She also supervises the communications (dispatch) division and administrative staff. Deanna is a no-nonsense supervisor whose priority is getting the job done right the first time. She is a loyal and dedicated employee."
Finally, Janeen Toby was recognized for 20 years of service with the Clerk of Court Office. Mr. Luckadoo shared:
"Janeen started with the Clerk of Court’s Office on March 13, 2006, as an office assistant in Common Pleas Court. Over the years, she has been promoted and now serves as a Common Pleas deputy clerk. While she primarily works with civil court, she also assists with criminal court and is always willing to help other departments when needed. She is a quick learner, very detail-oriented, and a great asset to the Clerk to Court’s Office."
