Longtime WTSS employee retires
It was with bittersweet emotions that friends and co-workers of West Texas
State School Juvenile Correction Officer Manuela Dunham came together on
Aug. 30, to bid her "Happy Retirement."
Manuela "Mona" Dunham served the Texas Youth Commission and West Texas
State School for more than 22 years. She began her career with TYC in 1979
working in the dormitories as what was then a "Houseparent" and is now
a Juvenile Correction Officer. Dunham worked in the Education department
for the last several years.
At a luncheon held in her honor, Dunham was presented with an engraved
clock, a silver charm pendant with earrings, and a plaque recognizing her
22 years of dedication and service to West Texas State School, the Texas
Youth Commission and the troubled youth of Texas.
"I know my co-workers join me in saying that you are an outstanding
woman to know and work with," said co-worker Marcela Marenco. "You have
made lifelong friendships through the years and it saddens us all to see
you go, but we know you're ready and anxious for the beginning of the rest
of your life," she said.
Dunham could always be counted on for a "Good Morning" and a smile.
Her vast experience and dedication to the Texas Youth Commission and West
Texas State School will be greatly missed.
