The past two years during the COVID-19 pandemic weren’t a whole lot different for Mrs. Linda Webb than the first 15 since she retired. She’d take a call, hear her clerical skills were needed as a substitute secretary at different places around the West Irondequoit CSD, and she showed up. She worked. She did her part.
Mrs. Webb has dutifully served our staff and students when we needed her the most. She has helped keep school buildings humming at a time when staffing levels are at an all-time low. She also has worked in every building on our campus over the past two years—which happened over the previous 15 years, too.
“I enjoy it. I have to be busy,” says the mother of two adult children and four grandchildren. Her smile is well-known. Then again, West Irondequoit is all she has ever known. A graduate of Irondequoit HS, she has lived here her whole life. She started working for the district in the 1970s, spent 30 years as secretary at Southlawn elementary and retired in 2005.
We salute you, Mrs. Webb, and thank you, for all you have done and keep doing!
