A fond farewell to Mary Davis: honoring her years of service 

After more than a decade of dedicated service, SLVREC is proud to celebrate the retirement of Mary Davis, a valued member of our cooperative family.

Mary joined SLVREC in March 2015 as a Customer Service Representative, and over the years, brought a positive attitude and strong work ethic to every role she held. In April 2025, she transitioned into an Accountant position, continuing to support the cooperative with the same dedication and care.

During her time at SLVREC, Mary witnessed significant growth and change across the organization. From the early days of Ciello to the continued expansion of services, she saw firsthand how the cooperative evolved to better serve its members. “The changes with computer programs here is unending. Technology changes, such as all the AI advancements, we didn’t even talk about that when I started,” Mary commented.

While there have been many highlights, her favorite memories center around the strong sense of community at the coop. Whether participating in leadership team projects like building homes with Habitat for Humanity, helping bring Wi-Fi to La Jara Park or creating cornhole boards with coworkers, she has cherished every opportunity to give back. 

“I also love Christmas time at REC. The day we get together to celebrate Christmas here with our REC Family is awesome!!! I love big families, and this is definitely a BIG family. It is such a wonderful blessing for me,” Mary stated.

What she will miss most is the REC family. “I have seen kids grow up, people get married, retire, have children. And everyone here gives terrific hugs!!!” she said.

In retirement, Mary is looking forward to spending more time with her husband of 30+ years, as well as their two sons and three grandchildren. Her plans include helping on the farm, fishing, traveling and being a “stay at home girl.”

Reflecting on her time with the cooperative, Mary shared her gratitude: “I can’t thank REC enough for all the opportunities, friendships and learning it has given me. This is a great company to be a part of. May all of you stay safe and keep up the good work!! Hugs for everyone!”

We thank you, Mary, for your years of service and wish you all the best in this next chapter.
