MANSFIELD, PA (WENY) — A postal worker in Mansfield, Pennsylvania, finished her final route after more than three decades of delivering people their mail. Tammy Colegrove celebrated her last day at work on Wednesday, April 30th, celebrating 35 years of mail deliveries and community connections.
“I’m glad I ended up in Mansfield doing the mail route. I started in Galeton for three years and then transferred to Mansfield and I’ve never regretted it. It’s been the best. I’ve made so many friends and they’ve all actually become like family to me. This has been my family for the last 35 years and [it’s] been a bittersweet day of having to say goodbye to everybody,” said Colegrove.
Colegrove said that when she was a kid, she and her sister would watch the mail carrier come and deliver the mail. She said they’d get excited and think it was a cool job.
