Tax office staff honors retiree Sharon Medlin – more than a year later

The Union County Tax Assessor-Collector’s office honored Sharon Medlin for her retirement. They were only slightly more than a year late.

The reason for the tardiness was, not surprisingly, the COVID-19 pandemic.

Medlin decided to retire after 32 years’ service and her last day was March 20, 2020.

This was when the pandemic really started to hit so Tax Assessor-Collector Tameri Dunnam thought it prudent to delay a reception for health safety reasons.

This past week they were finally able to give her a reception , although it was still mostly held outdoors, on the courthouse porch.

Medlin was given gifts and well-wishers had a variety of treats to sample as well.

Over her career, Medlin worked for four different assessor-collectors: Bob Bailey, Dennis Rakestraw, Randy Dunnam and Tameri Dunnam.

With her for the reception was husband Terry.
