Bladen County honors longtime county employees at commissioners meeting
Summary
The board recognized Deborah Storms for more than 30 years of service and Agnes (library) for nearly five decades at the Bladen County Public Library; colleagues and supervisors offered tributes and thanks.
The Bladen County Board of Commissioners used part of its meeting to honor two longtime county employees who announced retirements.
Deborah "Debbie" Storms was recognized for more than 30 years with county government and work supporting children and families. A colleague and her supervisor, Sabrina Bitzel, praised Storms’s mentorship and long service, and the board expressed gratitude for her contributions.
The meeting also honored Agnes (surname spoken as McCall in the transcript), who has worked at the Bladen County Public Library since the late 1970s. Speakers recounted that she began work in 1976, served for roughly 47 years full time (49 years, 10 months total as spoken), and was celebrated for her continuity and dedication through many library directors’ tenures.
No board action was taken on these recognitions beyond formal appreciation and public remarks.
What happens next: the board will record the retirements in its personnel actions and the county will proceed with any necessary staffing arrangements.
