RESIDENTS and staff at Greenock’s Merino Court Care Home said farewell to Susan Wilson, who has retired after seven years as administration manager.

Home manager, Maria Hughes, paid tribute to Susan’s valued contribution to the Drumfrochar Road home.

Maria said: “Susan goes above and beyond her job description for residents, staff and family members. She has worked with four managers in her time in Merino Court, the longest one being myself.

“She has supported the home through the lows and the highs, and is a major part of our success.”

Maria added: “Susan is very popular with the residents, and can often be found making cups of tea and spending time with families and residents. She will be very much missed by us all.”

Susan, a gran and mother of four, is moving to England to be closer to her family.
