Parrish retires from Campbell Laundry after 23 years

     Freshness is the objective as sheets are pressed, table cloths are ironed and clothes are cleaned at the Campbell University Laundry. Thanks to the laundry, students are kept in clean clothes, athletes enjoy stain-free uniforms and prospective students get a fresh impression of Campbell when they visit the campus. Flossie Parrish, who recently retired from the laundry after 23 years, is one of the people who helped make this service a reality.
     Parrish has fond memories of her time at Campbell. She worked for the laundry service from 1982-2005, and witnessed Campbell’s evolution from small rural campus to major university. “I really enjoyed my time at Campbell,” Parrish said. “Both the work and the people were really nice.”
     Corbett Tart, manager of the laundry, referred to Parrish as a “super lady.” “She has been a great asset to the laundry service and to Campbell University,” he said.
     Tart affirmed the quality and value of Campbell Laundry employees. “The laundry service unit at Campbell prides itself on the quality of its work,” he said.
     The Campbell Laundry offers a wide variety of services and meets the needs of the students, as well as the community at large.
