Commissioners
March 27, 2025
CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. – The Franklin County Commissioners proudly presented the March Employee of the Month award to Teresa Anthony during the board’s March 26 public meeting. Anthony has been employed by Franklin County since September 1985 and serves as the director of the county’s domestic relations office.
March’s Employee of the Month recipient was determined by the Special Thanks and Recognition (STAR) Committee, which received 25 nominations for the March award, four of which were for Anthony. The nominations cited Anthony’s decades of service to Franklin County residents on the eve of her retirement.
“After 39 years and countless hours of service, Teresa has decided to retire as director of the domestic relations section. She has been dedicated to running an agency that provides for the children of Franklin County,” said one nomination. “She cares tremendously about the future of the office and has been working tirelessly to tie up loose ends and to ensure that her employees are prepared for the upcoming change.”
Another colleague wrote, “Teresa … needs to be recognized for all the great work she has done for domestic relations. She has seen the office move twice, got through a new computer system and training for all her staff.”
“Teresa has been a loyal, proactive, engaged and valued director of the Franklin County domestic relations section for the past 39 years,” noted one nomination. “With that being said, Teresa has been hoping to retire for the past year; however, she has continued to extend her time with ‘her work family’ to see the office move and transition smoothly into their new building along with preparing for and powering through an audit. Teresa continues to forge ahead with less than one month left until her retirement: educating co-workers, pushing to adjust the department budget to maintain our support hearing officer and taking time to genuinely care about her staff. Teresa has not thrown in the towel yet.”
“Her kindness will be missed!” said another employee, who highlighted the warmth Anthony shows her staff, “from taking time to say hello to each of us individually every morning to taking an interest in knowing all about us and our entire family. She will be the first one to bring a meal to your house or just check on you when in need. She is not just an employee but a friend who genuinely cares.”
Anthony’s outstanding characteristics are attributes that have not gone unnoticed by her peers. She is described as dedicated, loyal, responsible, strong, compassionate, hardworking, empathetic and caring.
The Franklin County Commissioners congratulated Anthony on her recognition and thanked her for her excellent work and for exuding such a high standard of knowledge, leadership and excellence to the employees and residents of Franklin County.
