Owners of Mansfield’s 71-Express, co-workers and a host of family and friends gathered to celebrate the retirement of Sally Langford on Saturday, August 31.
The celebration was held at the Mansfield City Hall from 2-4 p.m. Langford has been employed with the convenient store for the past 20 years.
Langford, a mainstay within the community, has six children, thirteen grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren. The latter is one of the reasons Langford decided it was time to retire.
“I love spending time with the kiddos,” said Langford. Following retirement, the care of those children is how she plans to fulfill her time.
In addition to caring for her family, Langford also enjoys sewing and crocheting.
Her long time employers, David and Kristy Ludwig, owners of 71-Express said, “we both love you and appreciate your years of service.”
