Hilliard staff members said their goodbyes and gave well-wishes to a longtime colleague, Denise Greer, as she celebrated her last day with the City Monday afternoon. Greer, the City’s Payroll Specialist, began her career with Hilliard 26 years ago in the Finance Department. Eventually, she took an opportunity with Payroll.
Denise was instrumental in the City’s transition from a pen-and-paper payroll system to a streamlined, electronic software.
“She has always taken pride in getting things right,” said her sister, Sharon Adkins, who works in the Recreation and Parks Department. “If an employee had questions related to payroll, Denise was there to help.”
On her last day, many of Denise’s colleagues mentioned her friendship and kind nature.
“Denise’s commitment and dedication to serving this community is commendable,” said Mayor Don Schonhardt. “She will be sorely missed by everyone who has worked with her, and we wish her the best with this next chapter of her life.”
Now that she’s retired, Denise plans to travel with her husband and enjoy her family, especially her grandchildren.
