After a decade of helping Sandoval County first responders cope with the sacrifice of serving, Senior Chaplain Kathy Thibodaux is retiring.
Thibodaux started the chaplaincy program in 2011 under late county Fire Chief Jon Tibbetts. Before that, she worked as a hospice nurse for 30 years and a disaster chaplain for 20 years, and is trained in crisis intervention.
“It has been a great honor to work with this department… I have grown; really, it is a great opportunity and I am going to miss it,” she said.
