Wilson County employees who have served for more than 30 years were honored and recognized during the November County Commission meeting.
County Mayor Randall Hutto worked with members of his staff to identify and procure gifts for employees who have been with the county for 30, 35, 40 and 45 years. Gifts included pocket watches, clocks and jewelry cases. It was sponsored by Rackley Roofing, meaning there was no cost to taxpayers.
Michelle Boykin, Chief Operating Officer at Rackley Roofing, said the company was happy to sponsor the gifts and would do so again in the future.
“For the employees, whether you've worked for the county for five months or for 50 years, your impact is seen every day by the people of this community,†Boykin said. “So thank you for what you do. On behalf of myself and on Rackley Roofing's behalf, thank you so much.â€
The Mayor’s Office looked back starting in December 2024 to determine who would be honored, and Hutto said it’ll happen every year.
“When you think about events like tonight, I'm sure we have left somebody out somewhere. We will find out about it tomorrow, but I cannot thank Sarah, Brooke, Christy, Kiana, Bethany and Susan enough for putting this on and honoring our employees,†Hutto said. “Our goal will be for December of 2025 to go back and get the next group and hopefully do that sometime between April and March.â€

“Thank you all. We live in a good county and we live in a good county because of you and the ground work that you laid for us over these years. We thank you for your service. It's hard to find an employee anymore that will stay too long in one place. And I think our county serves us well with the people that are loyal to Wilson County,†Hutto said.
The County Commission also honored retired Wilson County Government employees by asking them to stand and receive a round of applause.
