IONIA At the end of December, Rather Elementary School Secretary Debra Marshall retired after serving as the warm, welcoming face of Rather for the past 18 1/2 school years.
Prior to serving as Rather’s secretary, Marshall was a paraprofessional for 10 years in the Ionia Public Schools, working at Boyce and Emerson Elementary School. Hallmarks of Mrs. Marshall’s incredibly successful career have been an impeccable work ethic and an amazing level of kindness and compassion towards others, read a statement from Rather Elementary. Mrs. Marshall is known and loved by all at Rather and she will be sorely missed.
