Cherrie Koontz of Bluffton is the Mennonite Memorial Home employee of the month for November.

She has been employed at MMH since November 1990 and is the presently the assistant dietary manager.

On Aug. 25, MMH resident Kathleen Mikkelsen was in a dilemma. How was she to feed her guests? Cherrie helped her resolve the problem with extra goodies, utensils, and then went out of her way by helping Kathleen get a pizza so she could have a nice dinner for her guests.

This extra effort is what makes Cherrie a great asset to the dietary department.
