Steve O’Connor Retires from Mayflower

On Friday, December 30th, Steve O’Connor retired as an employee of The Mayflower Community’s Foodservices department. A professional photographer who operated his own studio for many years in Grinnell, Steve picked up the face mask and hair net and went to work three years ago at Mayflower to provide support during a difficult time of pandemic.

Now, after three years of service to Mayflower’s independent living and healthcare residents, Steve decided it was time to retire. To honor his selfless service, residents of all areas of The Mayflower Community came together to honor him at a reception.

The event was hosted by Mayflower’s Community Life and Wellness department, Leslie Jaworski, Director, and Tracy Woolfolk and Cecelia Bagnoli, Coordinators. The food was prepared by Mayflower’s Foodservices department.
