Newberry County Auditor Donna Lominack had the pleasure of recognizing one of her long-standing employees, Shannon Murphy, for 30 years of service to the Newberry County Auditor’s Office during the most recent Newberry County Council meeting.
Auditor Lominack had this to say of Shannon:
"Shannon Murphy came to work at the Newberry County Auditor's Office on May 1, 1996, and yes, that has been 30 years. I remember the day she came because I loved her red hair. She is a conscientious employee and knowledgeable about the office.
“Her cool, calm, and collected personality works great with taxpayers. Most likely, if you call the Newberry County Auditor's Office, she is the person that will answer the phone. That is only one of her many duties as she handles our monthly vehicle renewals, exempt vehicles, merchant charges, and works at the front counter when needed. She is always willing to help a fellow employee. The Newberry County Auditor's Office is proud to have Shannon on our team."
Congratulations, Shannon, for your many years with the Newberry County Auditor’s Office!

His leadership and experience have made him a tremendous asset to the Sheriff’s Office and to this community.
