Dining Services employee Bertha McNeill, of Erwin,
NC, recently celebrated 45 years at Campbell University, and she is
in no mood to retire.
“I don’t plan to retire completely anytime soon,”
she said. “I like to work. It pacifies your mind, and makes you feel
better. Working gives you something to think about, and the people
that you work with become your family.”
McNeill first came to Campbell in 1959 as an interim
employee, filling in for another worker who was ill. McNeill was asked
to stay on and began working as a baker in Dining Services, where she
has been ever since.
“I love baking. I’ve done it so long, I feel like it’s
just something that I should do,” she said.
She also believes a person should work as long as he or
she has good health and the strength to do a good job. “Campbell is just
like home,” she said. “If I stayed at home all day, I would be missing
the people that I work with.”
