Description
“The first person you should meet is Mary Sherrill.” This advice to a new employee was wise, reflecting the warmth of Mary‘s relationship with coworkers and her depth of influence at Lipscomb. Miss Sherrill came to Lipscomb as a student in 1934 and began working for the college as a volunteer in 1935. She served as secretary to three presidents– Ijams, Pullias and Collins. Upon retirement in 1981, she had worked at Lipscomb more years consecutively than any other person. Her attention to detail, avid love for athletics, warm smile, kind deeds, sage advice, and love for the Lord embodied the Lipscomb Spirit.
