LuAnn Aylings retired June 10 from the Coulee Dam Federal Credit Union after serving members there for 34 years.

Ayling started her credit union career in 1983 as a teller, and soon after was promoted to the loan department.

She was promoted again to loan supervisor, and for the past 27 years has served as vice president of lending.

"Thousands of lives were impacted and helped because of LuAnn's experience, knowledge and desire to help others achieve their financial dreams," credit union president Colleen Manley said. "LuAnn always went the extra mile for her members and coworkers and demonstrated a kind and understanding heart. She will be deeply missed."

Jessica Steinert has been trained to take Ayling's place at the credit union.

"While it is hard to say farewell to such a valued employee and good friend, it is our hope that many new memories will be created as she begins this exciting new chapter in her life," Manley stated.
