Tindell 45 Years And Counting


 
Mid-FL Processing & Distribution Center (P&DC) Mail Handler Gwendolyn Tindell (front row, center) received her 45-year Service Award and pin from Acting Plant Manager Joey Mendoza (right of Tindell). Tindell was surrounded by lots of love from co-workers.
 
Tindell affectionately known as “Mama Gwen” began her postal career on April 17, 1974 in Newark, New Jersey.  She transferred to Mid-FL P&DC as a Letter Sorting Machine (LSM) Clerk in December 1990. In 1991 she became a Mail Handler and currently works as a Business Mail Entry Mail Handler Support Employee. She is also a U. S. Navy veteran.
 
Tindell enjoys her job and co-workers and has accrued over 2,500 hours of Sick Leave. “It is a blessing to not have needed to use the sick leave,” stated Mama Gwen. When asked, what words of wisdom she has for her peers, she affectionately advised: “Work safely! Treat others how you would want to be treated and a little respect goes a long way.”

 
Thank you for over 45 years of loyalty and dedication to the Navy and Postal Service, Mama Gwenl!
