After 21 years as a Licensed Practical Nurse at Westview Health Care Center of Dayville Connecticut, Marsh Burr of Canterbury Connecticut has retired effective October 23rd, 2009.

Longstanding employee Marsha Burr was celebrated at a party thrown in her honor on Saturday, November 7th at Hank's Restaurant in Brooklyn, Connecticut. Approximately 40 friends, family and co-workers honored her remarkable dedication through gifts, cards and speeches. Westview Administrator David T. Panteleakos presented Burr with a clock; symbolic of her timeless commitment to the organization, 21 roses; reflective of her years of service and various gift cards to Marsha's local favorites.

"Marsha cared with all of her heart," commented Panteleakos. "She always had the best interests of the residents in mind. It is obvious based on the friendships that she has made through the years with both staff and residents, that her presence will be missed. Her professional contributions to the facility were invaluable."

Burr stated, "Westview has given my life purpose and direction. Every day I have been privileged to work with a devoted team of healthcare providers to care for individuals who need assistance and deserve a wonderful quality of life. I have had a wonderful professional and personal experience at Westview, and can not find adequate words to express what my relationship with the Westview Health Care Center family has meant to me through the years."
