Not many people can say they’ve worked at the same organization for 35 years, but Tina Compton in O’Fallon can, and that’s amazing! Tina started her career with Aging Ahead in 1987 as a dishwasher in St. Charles, and now she’s the head cook at the O’Fallon location, preparing nutritious meals for congregate and home-delivered older adults. “I’ve stayed so long because I love the people we serve, and my coworkers! It feels good to make someone smile every day; it really makes a difference.” Tina’s dedication to Aging Ahead participants along with her cooking skills are infamous. She’s well-known for her specialty cream puffs. When asked to provide insight to new employees of Aging Ahead, Tina said with a smile, “Just enjoy the work you do. Stay positive and keep moving.”
Aging Ahead would like to thank Tina for her unwavering dedication to older adults and the Agency. Her hard work and positive attitude have helped shape Aging Ahead into the organization it is today. Thank you!
