This story is amazing and an extraordinary testament to dedication and passion, 94-year-old Ann I. Schroeder is retiring after an incredible 75 years with Davenport Spring Company.
She joined the company long before it became part of the Mutual Wheel Group in the late 1990s.
Ann started her career in 1949 at the Davenport Spring Company, where she remained for her entire working life.
“If you’re going to take a job, don’t stay at a job that you don’t like. Find something that meets what you like to do and you do the best at it, because if you have a job you don’t like, you’ll never do the job the proper way,” Ms. Schroeder said.
Now that she’s retired, Ann says she does have one regret, “I’ve been very selfish with a lot of friends. I’ve not had a lot of time for them because I’ve always been on the go to work. My work has been my preference, and so now I should be able to take the time to do it.”
