❤️ Two amazing women. Almost 20 years of memories. One incredible team. ❤️
Marilyn and Christie have both been part of my journey for almost 20 years, and I couldn’t imagine doing this without them. We’ve worked through different hotels, challenging days, crazy busy seasons, lots of laughter and plenty of memories — and now we’re approaching two years together at TownePlace Suites Lake City.
And I have to laugh because their favorite animals actually fit their personalities pretty perfectly! 😂
🦝 Marilyn and her raccoons — clever, resourceful, observant, determined and always noticing the little details others might miss. Nothing gets past her, which may explain why she’s so good at keeping our hotel sparkling!
🐔 Christie and her chickens & roosters — social, energetic, protective of their flock and always alert to what’s happening around them. She’s there when her team needs her, jumps into whatever department needs help and definitely knows how to keep the flock moving and rule the roost! 😂🐓
They are different in so many ways, but they share the qualities that matter most — loyalty, dedication, hard work, pride in what they do, and genuine love for their team.
One catches every little detail, the other keeps the flock moving — and together, Marilyn & Christie keep our TownePlace sparkling and the whole roost running! 🦝🐓🏨❤️
I’m incredibly proud of both of you and thankful for every year, every challenge, every laugh and every memory we’ve shared.
Almost 20 years down… here’s to the next decade together! ❤️🥰
With pride and appreciation,
Lynn Branscome, General Manager ❤️
