Woodbury County honors two long‑time sheriff’s department employees on retirement
Summary
Supervisors read resolutions thanking Mary Feiler and Randy Ewell for decades of service to the County Sheriff's Department and presented them at the board meeting.
The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors read resolutions honoring Mary Feiler and Randy Ewell for long service to the County Sheriff’s Department and presented certificates at the board meeting.
The board read a resolution noting that Mary Feiler served Woodbury County for 41 years from Aug. 6, 1984, to April 7, 2025, and that Randy Ewell served for 38 years from Aug. 3, 1987, to April 30, 2025. Supervisors thanked both employees and invited them forward for photographs and brief remarks.
Why it matters: The board formally recognized two long‑tenured public‑safety employees, noting their roles in multiple facility transitions and their contributions to the sheriff’s office and the community.
Details and remarks Supervisor comments at the dais highlighted Feiler and Ewell’s institutional knowledge and service through multiple local corrections facility moves. One supervisor said the two “have outlived the life of the previous LEC” and thanked them for staying on to help with the transition to the county’s new law enforcement center. Both employees accepted the board’s thanks; Mary Feiler said, “It’s been a long ride,” and noted she had reached personal goals of completing 40 years and working in a third jail. Board members and colleagues offered applause and photographs.
Ending The board’s reading of the resolutions was followed by brief remarks and photos; no further action was recorded at the meeting.
