People arrived steadily throughout the event.

She is a Certified Nursing Assistant and was managing 400+ clients by the time she retired. At one point she had over 500 clients! All this while commuting daily from Skyway.

The sign on the wall says "Echo's Retirement"

Executive Director Emily Jones says, 

Echo was an invaluable part of the Shoreline Senior Center community, and we were so happy to be able to celebrate her well-deserved retirement.

Over 150 community members stopped by to share a memory over a piece of cake, and she ended up having so many gifts we had to load up a cart to get them out to her car!

Echo's plans for the future include travel, with major trips planned for the next three years.

The Senior Center plans to fill her position but is having difficulty finding candidates.
