Maribeth Burns named 56th Paul L. Powell Orrville Citizen of the Year
ORRVILLE Look around the city and you can probably find a project that involved Maribeth Burns.
With more than 30 years experience with the J.M. Smucker Co., Burns said she s had the opportunity to work in many communities, and I always enjoy coming back to Wayne County.
It s no wonder she s this year’s Paul L. Powell Citizen of the Year award recipient.
“It’s hard to beat that collaborative spirit. It’s more about looking for solutions than focusing on obstacles,” she said of the area.
The Paul L. Powell Citizen of the Year Award honors those citizens who continue to make Orrville “The Promised Land,” as the award’s namesake would refer to the city in his weekly column, “Over the Fence,” in the Crescent-Courier. The paper recognized Powell as the first Citizen of the Year recipient upon his retirement in 1969, and named the award after him.
