The photos have come down off her office walls. Stith has packed up her certificates and awards she proudly showcased in her third floor office along West High Street in Jefferson City.
“This will be a big change. I’ve been thinking about when to retire for some time because of course I knew mandatory retirement was coming up at age 70 in a couple of years,” she tells Missourinet. “I don’t leave things to the last minute. I have been thinking of when would be appropriate to leave. I’ve had this in mind for a while and 20 years just seems like the right time.”
