Former Speedway manager Sherry Campbell celebrated her retirement from the convenience store with friends and family after 40 years at the Olive Hill location. Campbell started with the company in Grayson, in 1979 when it was still called SaveMore, before taking some time off and returning to the Olive Hill store in 1985. While the store has had several names over that period – changing to SaveMart, SuperAmerica, and Speedway, before its recent change to 7-11 – Campbell has been a constant. She said the people of Olive Hill made her feel at home from day one, and that while she’s glad to spend more time with her husband and grandchildren, she will miss the community.
“My heart’s in Olive Hill,” she said. “When I came here, people just, they brought me food… they welcomed me. I felt welcomed here. So, this is my home.” (Photos by Jeremy D. Wells, Carter County Times)
