On the day of her official retirement, longtime Buxton Postmaster Donna Parker was honored for her years of service to the Hatteras Island community at a surprise and informal ceremony with friends, colleagues, and Hatteras Island County Commissioner Danny Couch.
Held at the Buxton Post Office, Couch presented Parker with a Dare County Proclamation thanking her for her exceptional service, and celebrating the highlights of her distinguished career.
Parker started her career in 1990 in Watauga County, North Carolina, as a $5 per hour casual city carrier, which is generally hired on a temporary basis to supplement the regular workforce.
