Mary Brooks has worked at Ohio Living Breckenridge Village for 41 years – and been the dinner cook for most of those years.
Mary began her career working part time at the Fairmount Health & Rehabilitation Center on the tray line, and then a job opened up as a full-time lunch cook. After lunch cook, she became a full-time cook in the morning at Fairmount. She then came a full head cook at the Breckenridge Village North apartment building the year it opened!
“What has kept me here for 41 years is getting to know the residents and people I work with,” Mary expressed. “Some of my closest friends to this day I met at this job.”
It also helps that Mary “truly loves to cook.”
