Renita Terry
Accounting Department – Fulton, Missouri
At Walsworth, I fulfill accounting duties, provide purchase order numbers, and act as the front desk receptionist. Previously, I have worked in the Mailroom, Bindery, and Shipping Departments as clerk or technician.
I would describe my day-to-day work as busy, busy!
I started 43 years ago on November 12 in 1979 with the Ovid Bell Press, Inc., and continued with Walsworth after the transition. Back in 1979, I was working at Sonic as a carhop. One of the managers from The Ovid Bell Press was getting food and asked if I would like a job here and I applied. When I was growing up though, I thought this place was a telephone company! What a shock to find out it was printing company. I have only held three jobs in my life beginning at 14 years old: Dairy Queen, Sonic, and Ovid Bell Press/Walsworth.
If I had a personalized coffee mug at work, it would say “No Drama”
What I love most about my job is the people!!!
A favorite memory I have here was when I won Employee of the Year in 2007.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and I love working in my yard and spending time outdoors when it’s warm and hot. In January 2021, my sweet baby Riley (Shih Tzu) passed away. He was 16 years old and I miss him so much!!
I love waterfalls, and I’m a big animal lover. If I ever won the lottery, I would take all the abused and unwanted animals in and love them and take care of them.
I have the most wonderful family. I have a son, daughter and four adorable grandkids!!! I also have a cat named Simba. He is a sweet little boy! I have two sisters and one brother who all live in Fulton. I am a born and raised Callawegian, as I have spent my entire life here in Fulton.
