Happy retirement and farewell to our beloved Miss Mev

/

With over 14 years at Graceway, it is with great sadness that we say farewell to our beloved Miss Mev, who will be retiring and moving back to the US. Meverly joined the Graceway team in August 2006 and quickly turned her customers and colleagues into lifelong friends and family. During her time with us, she has dedicated herself wholeheartedly to every co-worker and customer she has met - her favorite customers, of course, are the children who she has never failed to make smile with cookies and doughnuts.

One of the hardest workers with the biggest heart. Miss Mev has been through three hurricanes on Provo and has volunteered countless times to cook thousands of meals to feed the community. She traveled to Grand Turk to volunteer after the hurricane and even slept on the floor of the IGA deli while bread was baking in the middle of the night. The impact Miss Mev has left is everlasting. She will be dearly missed by all her co-workers and customers and we thank her sincerely for her hard work and dedication at Graceway. We wish her the very best on her retirement!

With love,
from your Graceway Family.

"I've known Miss Mev for over 14 years. Always welcoming, very helpful, very hardworking and very caring- she has to be the best team player. I don't think from the time I've known her, she's ever passed me and not asked how me and my family are- she hasn't missed a day! She's going to be missed by all."

"I've been working with Mevy, I guess for 14 years now! She's our family away from home. She kept up with us even when I left. She loves her employees, coworkers and customers more than anyone. I've seen her buy police officers lunch and pay for employee meals when they can't afford it- she is one of the most kind, giving, and caring people I know with the biggest heart. She cares for people more than herself. She's irreplaceable and we'll miss her more than she'll ever know."

- James Waters, Graceway IGA Retail Operations Manager
